## Features
- User authentication and authorization.
- CRUD operations for users, jobs, and applications.
- JWT-based authentication for secure API access.
- RESTful API design.
- Written in TypeScript for enhanced maintainability and type safety.
## Getting Started
Follow these instructions to get the project up and running on your local machine.
### Prerequisites
You need to have the following software installed on your computer:
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (LTS version recommended)
- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/), [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) or [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) package manager
### Installation
1. Star the repository.
2. Clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/nixrajput/job-portal-api-typescript.git
```
3. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd portfolio-nextjs
```
4. Install the project dependencies:
If you're using npm:
```bash
npm install
```
If you're using pnpm:
```bash
pnpm install
```
If you're using Yarn:
```bash
yarn install
```
### Configuration
Before running the application, you need to configure the environment variables. Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env.local` and fill in the necessary values.
```bash
cp .env.example .env.local
```
### Database Setup
Make sure you have a database configured and running. Update the database connection details in the `.env.local` file.
### Running the Application
Once the dependencies are installed and the configuration is set up, you can start the application by running:
```bash
npm run dev
#or
pnpm run dev
# or
yarn dev
```
By default, the application will run on port `3000`. You can change the port by modifying the `PORT` environment variable in the `.env.local` file.
## API Documentation
### Authentication
The API uses JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for authentication. To authenticate, send a POST request to `/api/auth/login` with a JSON payload containing the user's email and password.
```json
{
"email": "[email protected]",
"password": "password"
}
```
If the credentials are valid, the API will respond with a JWT token, which should be included in subsequent requests as an Authorization header:
```json
Authorization: Bearer
```
### Endpoints
#### Auth
- **POST /api/v1/auth/register**: Create a new account.
- **POST /api/v1/auth/login**: Login to the account.
#### Profile
- **GET /api/v1/profile/me**: Get profile details.
- **GET /api/v1/profile/:id**: Get profile details by ID.
#### Jobs
- **GET /api/v1/jobs**: Get all jobs.
- **POST /api/v1/jobs**: Create a new job. Requires authentication and admin privileges.
- **GET /api/v1/jobs/:id**: Get job details by ID.
- **PUT /api/v1/jobs/:id**: Update job details by ID. Requires authentication and admin privileges.
- **DELETE /api/v1/jobs/:id**: Delete job by ID. Requires authentication and admin privileges.
#### Applications
- **GET /api/v1/applications**: Get all job applications. Requires authentication and admin privileges.
- **POST /api/v1/applications**: Apply for a job. Requires authentication.
- **GET /api/applications/:id**: Get application details by ID. Requires authentication.
- **PUT /api/v1/applications/:id**: Update application details by ID. Requires authentication and admin privileges.
- **DELETE /api/v1/applications/:id**: Delete application by ID. Requires authentication and admin privileges.
## Deployment
This API can be deployed using various platforms such as Heroku, AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or your own server infrastructure. Here are some general steps to deploy the API:
1. **Prepare your environment**: Ensure that your deployment environment meets the requirements specified in the Prerequisites section.
2. **Build the application**: If necessary, build the TypeScript code into JavaScript. You can do this by running:
```bash
npm run build
```
or
```bash
yarn build
```
3. **Configure environment variables**: Set up environment variables similar to how it's done in the local setup. Ensure that you provide appropriate values for your deployment environment.
4. **Deploy the application**: Deploy the built application to your chosen platform. Each platform may have its own deployment process. Refer to the documentation of your chosen platform for detailed instructions.
5. **Start the application**: Once deployed, start the application in your deployment environment. This might involve running a command similar to `npm start` or `yarn start`, depending on your setup.
6. **Monitor the deployment**: Monitor the deployed application for any issues. Make sure that it's running smoothly and handle any errors or performance issues as needed.
