I’m excited to share that I’ve successfully set up the backend for my Task Management Application using Express.js 🎉.
1️⃣ Configured Express.js Middleware:
Used express.json() to parse JSON request bodies.
2️⃣ Implemented Modular Routing:
Set up separate route files for users (users.js) and tasks (tasks.js).
Ensured a clean and maintainable codebase with dynamic routing.
3️⃣ Established Database Connection:
Connected to MongoDB using Mongoose via a custom connectDB function.
Incorporated error handling for reliable database management.
4️⃣ Environment Configuration:
Leveraged the dotenv package to manage environment variables.
Enabled flexible configurations for different environments (e.g., development, production).
With these steps, the backend is now fully equipped to handle API requests and seamlessly communicate with the database.
Next Steps:
Define database models for users and tasks.
Build API endpoints to handle core functionality like CRUD operations.
This journey is shaping up to be both challenging and rewarding. I’d love to hear any tips or suggestions you might have to enhance my backend development process! 🚀
