Blog Application

This repository contains the code for a simple blog application built using Node.js, Express, Prisma, and JWT authentication. The application includes features such as user registration, authentication, post creation, and commenting.

STILL UNDER WORKING TO ADD THE FULLY FEATURES

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Prisma
• MySQL database
• JWT Secret (store in a .env file)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/MROMER444/Blog.git
   cd Blog

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Set up the database using Prisma:

   npx prisma migrate dev

4. Create a .env file in the root directory and set your JWT secret:

   JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret_here
   

5. Run the application:

   npm start

Structure

• index.js: Entry point for the Express application. Sets up routes and starts the server.

• router/user.js: Handles user registration and login functionality.

• router/auth.js: Provides middleware for user authentication and admin authorization.

• prisma/schema.prisma: Defines the data models for users, posts, and comments using Prisma.

• middleware/admin.js: Middleware to check if a user is an admin.

• middleware/user_auth.js: Middleware for user authentication using JWT.

Features

1. User Registration and Authentication:

   • Users can register with a unique email and password.
   • JWT is used for authentication, and the token is stored in the header (x-auth-togenerationToken).

2. Post Creation:

   • Authenticated users can create posts with titles and content.

3. Commenting:

   • Authenticated users can add comments to existing posts.

4. Admin Authorization:

   • Some routes require admin privileges, and the application checks for admin status using middleware.
