Jobly - Back-end API in Node.js/Express and PostgreSQL

Description:

• Jobly is a fullstack application with the back-end structure provided in this repository. To view the front-end please see the react-jobly repository pinned to my profile.
• To see a demo of the application visit: https://www.loom.com/share/560f21a16f2e4df7ad0395f38a459d0a
• The Jobly backend is built in Node.js and Express, serving as a pure API application.
• It handles values from query strings or a JSON body and returns JSON responses.
• Implements authentication and authorization functions using JWT tokens.
• This API allows filtering of jobs and companies based on the search criteria received from the front-end.

Future features include:

• Achieving 98% test coverage with additional tests.
• Adding technologies for jobs by introducing a table in the database that can be linked to many jobs.
• Incorporating technologies for users, similar to the addition of technologies for jobs.
• Implementing a feature where a random password is generated for users added by admins via the POST/users route. The system generates a random password, and users can change it after authentication.
