Overview:

  • This project is a summary of this back-end trimester: authentication, NodeJS, MongoDB, Redis, pagination and background processing.

  • The objective is to build a simple platform to upload and view files:

  • User authentication via a token
  • List all files
  • Upload a new file
  • Change permission of a file
  • View a file
  • Generate thumbnails for images

Core technologies

Redis MongoDB NodeJS

Testing and Jobs

A queueing job mechanism for creating thumbnails of photos uploaded to the application is included in the project. When a new user is created, it also leverages this feature to generate a welcome message. Bull is used in all of this.  Bull & NodeJS

Mocha is used in combination with Chai for testing the app.
