Memory Lane API serves as the backend for a Memories application, providing endpoints to manage user profiles, milestones, and media associated with each memory. Built using Express.js, Knex.js, and MySQL database, this API facilitates storing, retrieving, and managing memories stored by users.
- Express.js
- Knex.js
- MySQL
- bcrypt
- Multer
- JWT
- User Authentication: Users can sign up, log in, and authenticate using JSON Web Tokens (JWT), ensuring secure access to their memories.
- User Profiles Management: Users have the ability to manage profiles for their children. This includes creating new profiles, editing existing ones, and deleting profiles as needed. This feature enhances user control and customization, allowing them to organize and personalize their memories more effectively.
- Memories Management: Users can create, delete, and view their memories, including milestone events.
- Media Attachment: Memories can include various types of media, such as images, videos, or audio recordings, providing a rich multimedia experience.
- Location Tagging: Memories can be tagged with location information, allowing users to remember where each memory took place.
- Creative Memory Creation: The API offers a creative memory creation feature where users can add descriptive titles and meaningful descriptions to their memories as well as people in the memory.
- Date Selection: Users can select the date of each memory, capturing the moment accurately.
- Secure Authorization: Authorization middleware ensures that users can only access their own memories and profiles, enhancing data security and privacy.
