App-Store-Express-API

Try out the API with Swagger Docs

Description

An Express API built to serve app store data. The data was obtained from Kaggle. I cleaned up the app data in Jupyter Notebook. JSON Web Token is used for authorization and role-based authentication. I created several seeders using Faker JS to create users and reviews. Inside the seeders, I created the relationships between apps and users. Middleware is used for checking a user's role and for protecting routes. Creating the API routes and serving the data was not too hard; however, creating references in multiple documents was tricky. Validating requests to make sure only a user can delete their review, account, etc., took a bit of time.

Relationships

• An App can have many reviews.
• A User can have many reviews.
• An App can have many users.
• A User can have many Apps.
• A Review has an App and a User.
