API Project: Exercise Tracker for FCC
About
This is my project of the Exercise Tracker challenge for the freeCodeCamp API and Microservice certification. It was built based on the boilerplate available here.
Technologies
A little bit of what's inside the project:
- Node.js and Express to create the server and handle routes, requests and responses.
- express-validator to clean and validate the input data.
- Mongoose to persist all the data.
Endpoints:
| Endpoints | Description | Params |
|---|---|---|
POST /api/exercise/new-user |
Create a new user | username* (via body) |
GET /api/exercises/users |
Return all registered users | n/a |
POST /api/exercises/add |
Add an exercise for a specific user | userId*, description*, duration*, date (via body) |
GET /api/exercises/log |
Return the log of a user's exercises | userId*, from, to, limit (via query) |
Example output:
{"_id":"5fda1383bb165d0493ae9427","username":"testUser"}[{"_id":"5fda1383bb165d0493ae9427","username":"testUser","log":[{"description":"testExercise","duration":15,"date":"2020-12-16T14:04:10.761Z"}],"count":1}]
How to use:
Be sure to change the uri variable in database.js according to your own MongoDB server. It's also possible to just create a .env file and store this information there in order to keep it hidden and safe. Then, just run on terminal:
npm install
npm start
