[FEATURE REQUEST]: Endpoint Data Validation

[Allistair Vilakazi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
To prevent unnecessary calls to the backend, endpoint request data should be validated.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Create validation rules with Express Validator, Joi, or any other Node API validation middleware.
• Sanitize parameters and remove all unexpected parameters.
• Implement data validation (validate data types and format of parameters).
• Implement database validation (validate that a resource ID sent by the user is in the database).
• Implement business rules validation (validate that a user can access other people records only if they are an employer or admin)

Describe alternatives you've considered
You can comment if you know of a better solution to this.
