API Testing

In order to the the routes you can already use POSTMAN to make API calls. API automated tests will be created later, but as of now, our API can be tests using a REST caller.

Here are some functionalities to test (please replace the port by the one mentioned in the config.json, by default it's 3000):

• Signup: URL: http://localhost:/api/auth/signup PAYLOAD:

{
    "username": "username",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "password",
    "phoneNumber": "0000000000",
}

We welcome contributions to improve and enhance the application. Please feel free to open issues for bugs, enhancements, or feature requests. Stay tuned for issues created by the maintainers for specific tasks and improvements.

Note

Ensure that config.json is ignored in your Git repository to protect sensitive information. Use the following commands as needed:

To ignore changes: git update-index --assume-unchanged ./config.json To track changes: git update-index --no-assume-unchanged ./config.json
