Backend for the app developed during Codewar 4.0 codestellation
This is a backend application built using Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB. It provides a REST API for tracking the score of a volleyball game. The application is divided into two parts, one for the organiser and one for the team. The organiser can create a room and a unique code will be generated. The teams can join the room using the unique code and monitor the game. The organiser can update the score of the team and each player.
To install the dependencies, run the following command: npm install
To start the application, run the following command: npm start
The application will start listening on the port specified in the environment variable PORT (default is 4000).
Before running the application, make sure to set the following environment variables:
DB_URI = The DB_URI environment variable should contain the MongoDB connection string.
PORT = Give a port number (eg: 4000,3000)
Password hashing is implemented using bcryptjs. When a user signs up, their password is hashed and stored in the database. When a user logs in, their password is hashed and compared to the hashed password stored in the database.
Authentication is implemented using the find method in MongoDB. When a user logs in, their username and password are checked against the database. If the username and password match, the user is authenticated.
