Welcome to the API configuration section of our tutorial web application. Below you will find a detailed guide on how to configure the API for optimal performance and functionality.

API Endpoints

The following are the main API endpoints available:

  • /api/users: Endpoint to manage user information.
  • /api/posts: Endpoint to manage blog posts.
  • /api/comments: Endpoint to manage comments on posts.

Configuration Steps

  1. Set Up Environment Variables

    • Define environment variables for database connection, API keys, and other sensitive information.

  2. Database Configuration

    • Configure your database connection settings in the config.json file.

  3. Middleware Setup

    • Install and configure necessary middleware such as CORS, authentication, and error handling.

  4. API Key Management

    • Generate API keys and securely store them.

  5. Testing the API

    • Test your API endpoints to ensure they are working correctly.

Example Configuration

Here's an example of how you can configure the API to connect to a MongoDB database:

module.exports = {
  dbUrl: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
  secretKey: process.env.SECRET_KEY,
  port: process.env.PORT || 3000,
  // Additional configuration settings
};
