Blog

The Blog App is a web application that allows users to create, delete, and access blogs. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing blog content and includes features such as user authentication, blog likes, and token-based login. The app is built using React for the frontend, MongoDB and Mongoose for the database, Node.js and Express for the server, and Cypress for end-to-end testing.

Features

  • User authentication: Users are required to log in before accessing the blog functionality.
  • Token-based authentication: A token is generated upon successful login and expires after 1 hour, ensuring secure access to the app. Also user is logged in, if the page is reloaded.
  • Blog creation: Users can create new blogs by providing the title, URL, author, and link as parameters.
  • Blog deletion: Users can delete their own blogs.
  • Blog sorting: Blogs are displayed in order of likes, with the most popular blogs at the top.
