Backend with Node.js
🏆 Capstone: a complete REST API
Build a tasks REST API piece by piece: repository, validation, authentication and handlers, bringing together everything you learned in layers.
What you'll learn
- Implement a tasks REST API with CRUD operations and the correct status codes
- Separate responsibilities into layers: repository, middleware and handlers
- Protect and validate routes with authentication and validation middleware
- Filter results with optional query parameters (e.g.
?done=true)
