To get started, clone or download the NestJS application from the repository. Once you've got the code locally, navigate to the project directory in your terminal and run:

npm install

This command installs all the necessary dependencies for the NestJS application.

After installing the dependencies, you can start the application by running:

npm run start

Your NestJS application has two main routes for user registration and authentication:

1. Signup Route (POST /api/auth/signup): This route registers a new user.
2. Login Route (POST /api/auth/login): This route allows users to log in.

To create a new user, you'll send a POST request to /api/auth/signup with the required user information (e.g., firstName, lastName, email, password). The request body should adhere to the NewUserDto structure defined in user.dto.

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/auth/signup -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "firstName": "John",
  "lastName": "Doe",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "mysecretpassword"
}'

{
    "success": true/false,
    "message": "Signup success"
}

For user login, send a POST request to /api/auth/login with the user's email and password in the request body (following the structure defined in LoginPayload). Upon successful login, the route responds with a LoginResponseDto containing a bearer_token.

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/auth/login -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "mysecretpassword"
}'

{
  success: true,
  message: 'Login success',
  bearer_token: token,
}

To create a new note, send a POST request to /api/notes with the required note information (e.g., title, content). The request body should adhere to the NotesDto structure defined in note.dto.

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/notes \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <bearer_token>" \
-d '{
  "title": "New Note Title",
  "content": "This is the content of the note"
}'

{
  "data": {
    "_id": "6595a3e3311e84e63b5cc236",
    "title": "New Note Title",
    "content": "This is the content of the note",
    "adminUserIds": ["userId"],
    "createdAt": "2024-01-03T18:13:55.101Z",
    "updatedAt": "2024-01-03T18:13:55.101Z"
  }
}

To update an existing note, send a PUT request to /api/notes/:id with the note ID as a route parameter and the updated note information in the request body. The request body should adhere to the NotesDto structure defined in note.dto.

curl -X PUT http://localhost:3000/api/notes/:id \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <bearer_token>" \
-d '{
  "title": "Updated Note Title",
  "content": "This is the updated content of the note"
}'

{
  "data": {
    "_id": "6595a3e3311e84e63b5cc236",
    "title": "Updated Note Title",
    "content": "This is the updated content of the note",
    "adminUserIds": ["userId"],
    "createdAt": "2024-01-03T18:13:55.101Z",
    "updatedAt": "2024-01-04T08:00:00.000Z"
  }
}

To retrieve a specific note, send a GET request to /api/notes/:id with the note ID as a route parameter. This endpoint requires authorization.

curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/api/notes/:id \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <bearer_token>"

{
  "data": {
    "_id": "6595a3e3311e84e63b5cc236",
    "title": "Note Title",

    "adminUserIds": ["userId"],
    "createdAt": "2024-01-03T18:13:55.101Z",
    "updatedAt": "2024-01-03T18:13:55.101Z"
  }
}

To retrieve all notes, send a GET request to /api/notes. This endpoint requires authorization.

curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/api/notes \

      "adminUserIds": ["userId"],
      "createdAt": "2024-01-04T10:00:00.000Z",
      "updatedAt": "2024-01-04T10:00:00.000Z"
    }
  ]
}

To delete a specific note, send a DELETE request to /api/notes/:id with the note ID as a route parameter. This endpoint requires authorization.

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:3000/api/notes/:id \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <bearer_token>"

{
  "success": true
}

To share a specific note, send a POST request to /api/notes/:id/share with the note ID as a route parameter. This endpoint generates a sharing URL for the note. This endpoint requires authorization.

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/notes/:id/share \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <bearer_token>"

{
  "sharingUrl": "https://localhost:3000/api/notes/:id/share?token=<share_token>"
}

To access a shared note via a sharing URL, send a GET request to /api/notes/:id/share. This endpoint allows access to the shared note if the token is valid.

curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/api/notes/:id/share?token=<share_token>

{
  "data": {
    "_id": "6595a3e3311e84e63b5cc236",
    "title": "Shared Note Title",
    "content": "Content of the shared note",
    "adminUserIds": ["sharedUserId"],
    "createdAt": "2024-01-03T18:13:55.101Z",
