Objective: Develop a Node.js Express application with TypeScript as the programming language, Authentication-Authorization and integrating MongoDB with Mongoose for course review management. Here data integrity is ensured through validation using Zod. This application is developed using Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and TypeScript.
- User authentication, authorization, and user-related information
- Course Management: Create, read, dynamic or partial update, and delete courses.
- Review System: Add reviews to courses.
- Pagination and Filtering: Get paginated and filtered lists of courses.
- Best Course Endpoint: Retrieve the best course based on average review rating and count.
- Validation: Input validation using Zod.
- Error Handling: Centralized error handling.
