Introduction

---

This is a course project I've been working on. A Backend project made using (Express, Nodejs, and MongoDB). With this application, you can do all the CRUD operations on all the given model's user/customer/movie/genre/rental. You start by signing up as a user and there is a validation token (JWT) generated for you. You can access all the other operations using only this JWT

Key Features

---

• Create/Update/Delete user/customer/movie/genre/rental
• Multiple user registration
• Authentication and protecting routes using (JWT) in middlewares
• Encrypting password using (Bcrypt)
• Validation of input using (Joi)
• Unit, Integration, and TDD testing applied using (Jest, Supertest)
• Using (Compression) and (Helmet) in preparing the application for deployment
