Node js with Test Driven Development

• Practice Test Driven Development in a real project from beginning to the end
• Learn the test runner, Jest and understand how to structure test modules
• Create a fully functional application with Express js
• Learn how to build a RestFul API
• Make your application configurable to work in different environments
• Make your application aware of user locale, and support internationalization, i18n
• Use Sequelize to connect the application to RDBMS like PostgreSQL and handle all database related operations
• Secure your application with common practices. Basic authentication, JWT and your custom token implementation
• Use javascript on server side with Node js
• Deploy the application to a VM in cloud
• Experience automated deployment by pushing a commit from your machine to Github. Github Actions will do the rest.
• Feel how the test driven development is giving confidence when refactoring, and deploying your application.
• User Registration with email verification flow, account activation
• Password Reset flow

And following this practice, will help you to get a solid foundation about overall rest web services requirements and how to implement one of them with node js by following test driven development methodology.
