JavaScript Monthly Meetup - Building a RESTful API in Node!

This month we will diving into building a RESTful API in Node.js!

The exact tech stack is still a work in progress but what I know is that we will be working with MongoDB (setup through Docker), Express.js and Mongoose.js.

The ideas and technologies will be explained through Project Brutus - An API that will confirm that a users password is not contained in the list of the 1000 most common passwords.

Through this project we should be able to explore some interesting ideas such as connecting to MongoDB, handling authentication with the API (basic token auth), reading from the file system and also handling routing!

• All of the code will be posted on GitHub at some point before the 28th.

• One thing to note is that food will not be provided, so please make sure to eat ahead of time or bring something to snack on.

• We typically go from 6-9 with some nice breaks in the middle to stretch the legs, rest the brain and catchup on what everyone is up to.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Meetup!

Cheers

• Mike
