Files Manager

This project is a compilation of back-end concepts: authentication, NodeJS, MongoDB, Redis, pagination and background processing.

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

• User authentication via a token
• Listing of all files
• Uploading a new file
• Changing permissions of a file
• Viewing a file
• Generating thumbnails for images

Core technologies

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. 

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