Architecture Overview

A minimal blog web application built with Express, EJS, and Multer. It supports creating, listing, editing, viewing, and deleting posts with optional image uploads. Posts are stored in memory for development and reset on server restart.

Features

Home shows the latest 3 posts
List all posts
Create post with title, content, and optional image
Edit and delete posts
Single post view
Static About and Contact pages
Basic 404 handler
PDF export functionality using jsPDF library

What I Learned

  • Using Node.js and Express.js for backend development
  • Implementing Server-Side templates using Embedded JavaScript (EJS)
  • Structuring error responses for clear debugging without exposing internals
  • Using Multer for handling file uploads
  • Body-parser and URL encoding for parsing request bodies
  • Thinking about Limitations and constraints in system design
  • Planning for Improvements like adding database support and evolving the architecture

Systems Over Syntax

  • Design RESTful APIs with clear resource endpoints and appropriate HTTP methods
  • Implement authentication flows including OAuth and session-based auth
  • Structure applications with separation of concerns: structure, styles, functionality
  • Write code taking into account maintainability, readability, and scalability
  • Optimize database queries and understand when to use indexes
  • Debug using logging, breakpoints, and systematic elimination of variables
  • Read documentation to understand libraries rather than copy-paste solutions
