# Instalike-Back

## Project Overview

Instalike-Back is a backend service designed to support the Instalike application (project created during the course "Imersão Dev Back-end" provided by Alura in November 2024). **This project provides APIs for photo upload**s. Also, as a experiment, the course explained **how the Google Gemini can be integrated inside back-end**. For the database and deploy, **it uses MongoDB Atlas and Google Cloud**.

For more information, please read below:

## Tools and Technologies Used

- **Node.js**: JavaScript runtime for building the backend.

- **Express.js**: Web framework for Node.js to create APIs.

- **MongoDB**: NoSQL database for storing user data and photos.

- **Multer**: Middleware for handling `multipart/form-data` for photo uploads.

- **dotenv**: Module to load environment variables from a `.env` file.

- **Thunder**: Extension used in VS Code for testing API Endpoints.

- **Postman**: Software used for testing API Endpoints.

## API Endpoints

- **Post Creation**:

     - `POST /posts`: Create a post.

- **Photo Uploads**:

     - `POST /upload`: Upload a new photo.

- **Return all posts**

     - `GET /posts`: Obtain all posts in the database

- **Update an image**

     - `PUT /upload/:id`: Updates the image from the ID informed

## Learning points

- During this course, I was able to **practice my knowledge in Javascript and, more specific, in Node.js.**

- For this project, the practice of **integrating routes with database was a special way for me to learn about MongoDB**, one of the most use database services using NoSQL. 

- I was able to understand and **practice how an API works and how can I implement with the best practices in my future projects**.
