Photo-Studio

Node JS, Express API for storing images.

Setup

• install dependencies with $ npm install
• start the project with $ npm start

Valid access_token as QS parameter is required for each request.

Request for inserting new photo

POST: /user/me/photo

Request for updating photo by id

PUT: /user/me/photo/:id

Request for deleting photo by id

DELETE: /user/me/photo/:id

Request for getting one photo

GET: /user/me/photo/:id

Request for getting own photos

GET: /user/me/photo

Request for getting other user or followee user photos

GET: /user/:id/photo

The typical use cases are:

• user can sign in with facebook and submit images (gps coordinates is not implemented)
• fetch a photos's information
• update a photos's information
• delete a photo
• fetch all the photos of a given user (followee user or mine)

Used technologies

I have chosen

• MongoDB - document-oriented database program
• Mongoose - as ODM
• Google Cloud Storage for storing and serving photos binary data
• JSON Web Tokens for token based authentication
• REST API - for architecture of HTTP requests
• uuid - for unique image names

Notes:

• I have sent access_token as QS parameter as you have mentioned, but I'll prefer to send token with header of request
• actually client side is not implemented
