Node.js Express E-commerce API
Fast, secure, and maintainable REST API for an e-commerce backend built with Node.js, Express, MongoDB/Mongoose, Joi validation, JWT auth with refresh rotation, Redis caching/queues (ioredis), Socket.IO for realtime events, and express-fileupload for media uploads.
A modular Node.js REST API built with Express 4, MongoDB/Mongoose 8, and JWT authentication. Features role/permit access control, product/catalog endpoints (categories, subcategories, tags, deliveries, products, orders), file uploads via express-fileupload, and Redis-backed sessions/cache. Validation is Joi-first across routes, with centralized error handling and environment-driven config (dotenv). Includes a Socket.IO namespace (api/chat) for real-time messaging with token gating via jwt.verify and Redis lookups, plus a migration bootstrap (defaultDataMigrate) to seed initial roles/permits/users. Clean architecture with separate routers, utils (validator, helper, redis), and a watch-mode dev workflow.
