Author APIs /authors

  • Make sure the authorId is a valid authorId by checking the author exist in the authors collection.

  • Return HTTP status 201 on a succesful blog creation. Also return the blog document. The response should be a JSON object like this

  • Create atleast 5 blogs for each author

  • Return HTTP status 400 for an invalid request with a response body like this

GET /blogs

  • Returns all blogs in the collection that aren't deleted and are published
  • Return the HTTP status 200 if any documents are found. The response structure should be like this
  • If no documents are found then return an HTTP status 404 with a response like this
  • Filter blogs list by applying filters. Query param can have any combination of below filters.
    • By author Id
    • By category
    • List of blogs that have a specific tag
    • List of blogs that have a specific subcategory example of a query url: blogs?filtername=filtervalue&f2=fv2

PUT /blogs/:blogId

  • Updates a blog by changing the its title, body, adding tags, adding a subcategory. (Assuming tag and subcategory received in body is need to be added)
  • Updates a blog by changing its publish status i.e. adds publishedAt date and set published to true
  • Check if the blogId exists (must have isDeleted false). If it doesn't, return an HTTP status 404 with a response body like this
  • Return an HTTP status 200 if updated successfully with a body like this
  • Also make sure in the response you return the updated blog document.

DELETE /blogs/:blogId

DELETE /blogs?queryParams

Phase II

  • Add authentication and authroisation feature

POST /login

  • Allow an author to login with their email and password. On a successful login attempt return a JWT token contatining the authorId in response body like this
  • If the credentials are incorrect return a suitable error message with a valid HTTP status code

Authentication

  • Add an authorisation implementation for the JWT token that validates the token before every protected endpoint is called. If the validation fails, return a suitable error message with a corresponding HTTP status code
  • Protected routes are create a blog, edit a blog, get the list of blogs, delete a blog(s)
  • Set the token, once validated, in the request - x-api-key
  • Use a middleware for authentication purpose.

Authorisation

  • Make sure that only the owner of the blogs is able to edit or delete the blog.
  • In case of unauthorized access return an appropirate error message.

Testing (Self-evaluation During Development)

  • To test these apis create a new collection in Postman named Project 1 Blogging
  • Each api should have a new request in this collection
  • Each request in the collection should be rightly named. Eg Create author, Create blog, Get blogs etc
  • Each member of each team should have their tests in running state

Refer below sample
