API Endpoints

Look at 'api-collection/api-collection.json' file for API end point

Technology

1. Used node.js runtime environment for server side
2. Express.js web framework
3. To validate request, I have used express-validator
4. SendGrid is used to send email

Decision

1. Why nodejs/Express?: Node. js uses non-blocking, event-driven I/O to remain lightweight and efficient in the face of data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
2. I have used pagination instead of loading all data at a time. Initially, it loads 10 items
3. Authentication, authorization, user verify, recover password are added to this app
