Node.JS API for Mongo, Heroku, Firebase deployment

Overview

Hello Media API is part of a full-stack web development assessment, which included Node.JS API for Mongo, Heroku, Firebase deployment

Features

Feature	Summary
GET / POST / UPLOAD	An example of the data saved, can be viewed and manipulated via https://hmloginapp.herokuapp.com/. Though all data capture is conducted through ./insert ./update ./delete - an index.hds has been provided to assist in viewing the functionality of the API
UPLOAD images	I have opted to use Express-image-upload for this section of the API, as numerous other NPM libraries conflicted with the mongoDB protocal and requirements. All images are held in the ./uploads directory
Sercurely save personal details	All personal information is held securely on a seperate remote server i.e. mongoLab.com as Heroku does not provide MongoDB support.
Returns personal ID / Token	I could have employed many tokenisers / cookieIDs here, but simply use the mongoDB objectID for easy.
Linked to iOS application	the iOS application will make calls to both FireBase and the API via standard POST / GET.
Built-in HTTP Server	A built-in server for previewing your data can be extended for other purposes.
Use NPM, Node.JS and Express.js	The full node family was used here and some unused dependcies remain the the node_modules folder.
Testing: mocha and Supertest style	Run: npm test - to review test script; easy to run and extend.
Heroku deployment / With optional maile	https://hmloginapp.herokuapp.com/ https://herokuapp.com/
Handle Bars	Web performance web proformance and speed of development guilds me to use HandleBars; though .jade and .ejs can still be used to extend this API applicaiton.

Quickstart

• npm start - Standard node opporations have been used in the assessment

Web Performance

Full preformance of this application is yet to be done.

Browser Support

At present, I have tested the web functions on the following browsers:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari

Troubleshooting

Please note that this is merely a Demo and much of the exception handling functions have been ommitted, though mongoDB asserts have been lefted inside the API
