Enhancements and Revisions for Appointment-API

[swhasans]

This issue is to track the enhancements and revisions needed for the Appointment-API project. The following updates and improvements have been identified:

• 1. MongoDB Integration: Integrate MongoDB as the database for the Appointment-API to store and manage appointment data efficiently.

• 2. JWT Authentication: Implement JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication to secure the API endpoints and authenticate users accessing the API.

• 3. Dockerizing: Dockerize the Appointment-API application to enable easy deployment and scalability, allowing users to run the API in containers.

Additional Task:

• 4. Create RDBMS Version: Develop a version of the API that works with a relational database management system (RDBMS) like MySQL. This will enable compatibility with different database technologies and provide flexibility for users to choose the preferred database solution.

Note :
Unit Test Cases: Develop comprehensive unit test cases for each revision to ensure the functionality and reliability of the Appointment-API, covering all implemented features and endpoints.

Additionally, it is recommended to familiarize ourselves with the following concepts and terms:

• package-lock: Understand and utilize the package-lock file to lock dependencies and ensure consistent installations across different environments.

• CORS: Learn about Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) and configure it appropriately to allow or restrict cross-origin requests to the API.

• Postman Environments: Explore Postman environments to manage different sets of environment variables for testing the Appointment-API across different environments (e.g., development, staging, production).

• Unit Test Cases: Develop a suite of unit tests using appropriate testing frameworks and tools (e.g., Mocha, Chai, Jest) to verify the correctness and functionality of the Appointment-API endpoints and business logic.
