Important points to be covered in this project. [A Production Grade Project]
- Used Node.js and Expressjs as a helpful hand in this backend project for the server and coding purposes.
- A create a User, password hashing by bcrypt and using JWT to securely send data between two parties.
- Creating a video model, and uploading a video on the database created to a user.[I have here used Cloudinary as a system to store my images and the uploaded videos by the user.]
- Used MongoDB - Aggregation Pipeline for easy access and logic for many of the controllers in the project for example, the watch history of the user, the total number of subscribers of a user, get the playlist of the user by its id, etc.
- Added more additional functionality like tweeting (instead of a video a user can public his / her message), commenting on the video or tweet, liking the video, etc.
Use the package manager npm to install all Dependencies and Dev-Dependencies.
