This repository contains all project files to run the backend server for the web version.

You find most settings for the API server in the environment file located in the root directory of the project. You will need to set up a MongoDB instance on your local machine (default port) or host an instance in the cloud and point the application to the URI of that server.

You can use the included test program as a playground to use all the functionality of this API without having to call the endpoints directly.

Open the URL /api/v1/test in your browser and you will see a webpage that allows you to use every feature. You can also use this tool for development purposes but it won't be available on any release server for security purposes.

You don't need an API key as of right now. This feature will be implemented in the next update, and you will receive the details for a development test server that can be accessed from anywhere shortly after.

You can send POST requests to the following endpoints:

• /api/v1/users

  This endpoint returns a JSON object of the users that are currently in the database. It doesn't require any arguments.

• /api/v1/user/create

  Use this endpoint to create a new user in the database. It requires three POST- parameters. Provide a String for email, password (will be hashed), and name (full name).

• /api/v1/user/delete

  In order to delete an account from the database, use this endpoint with the email address (email) as its only argument. Please be cautious when using this API.

• /api/v1/user/get

  This API will return a user object. It requires an email address (email).

• /api/v1/user/auth

  Use this endpoint to authenticate a user. It requires two parameters: an email address (email) and a password (password), both strings. The password will be hashed on the server using Bcrypt and doesn't need to be encrypted when using this API.
