Wishlist-js backend service

About

As a private project to get into JS and backend development with node, I decided to create this web project. The idea for a wishlist came from the family just at the right time (isn't it more fun to have a project with real applicability instead of just coding a tutorial?) Anything technically new for me is currently mostly drawn from Pluralsight material. This is based on code from https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/node-js-express-rest-web-services-update

Planned basic features

• node.js based backend service for REST API
• service uses db for data persistence, probably mongodb
• some kind of frontend, undecided yet; possible solutions:
  • html with server side renderin/templating
  • web based solution with react
  • native mobile app
  • react native
  • flutter
  • ?

Possible additional or advanced features

• user authentication
• deployment solution
• extended data model (more properties)

other

• tests incl. mocking
• github CI
• sonarqube
