# Blog App Backend

This is the backend of a Blog Application built using Node.js and Express. It includes features for user authentication, file uploads, and interaction with a MongoDB database.

## Features

- User authentication with JSON Web Tokens (JWT).

- Secure password hashing with bcryptjs.

- Cloudinary integration for image storage.

- File upload handling using Multer and Multer Cloudinary Storage.

- RESTful API structure.

## Prerequisites

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (v16 or later recommended)

- [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) database

- Cloudinary account for image hosting

## Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   ```bash

   git clone 

   ```

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   ```bash

   cd blogapp

   ```

3. Install dependencies:

   ```bash

   npm install

   ```

4. Create a `.env` file in the root directory and add the following environment variables:

   ```env

   PORT=5000

   MONGO_URI=

   JWT_SECRET=

   CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=

   CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=

   CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=

   ```

## Usage

1. Start the server:

   ```bash

   npm start

   ```

   Nodemon will automatically restart the server on file changes.

2. The API will run at `http://localhost:5000` by default.

## Scripts

- `npm start`: Start the server with Nodemon.

- `npm test`: Run tests (if implemented).

## Dependencies

- **bcryptjs**: For password hashing.

- **cloudinary**: For storing images in the cloud.

- **cors**: To handle Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.

- **dotenv**: For managing environment variables.

- **express**: For creating the server and routing.

- **jsonwebtoken**: For user authentication.

- **mongoose**: For interacting with MongoDB.

- **multer**: For file uploads.

- **multer-storage-cloudinary**: For integrating Multer with Cloudinary.

- **nodemon**: For automatic server restarts during development.

## API Endpoints

### Authentication

- `POST /api/auth/register`: Register a new user.

- `POST /api/auth/login`: Log in a user.

### Blog Posts

- `GET /api/posts`: Get all blog posts.

- `POST /api/posts`: Create a new blog post (authenticated).

- `GET /api/posts/:id`: Get a specific blog post by ID.

- `PUT /api/posts/:id`: Update a blog post (authenticated).

- `DELETE /api/posts/:id`: Delete a blog post (authenticated).
