Natours is where people can seek and meet the beauty of the beauty of the nature

This application was developed as a final project of the course Node.js, Express, MongoDB & More: The Complete Bootcamp 2024, presented on Udemy by Jonas Schmedtmann.

The first step was to develop a full complete backend API with Node.js and Express, using MongoDB as database. The API was developed to be consumed by the frontend, that was developed using Pug as template engine.

The frontend was created as a server-side rendered application, with the main goal of showing the tours available in the Natours application. The tours are shown in a card format, with a brief description and a map showing the location of the tour.

Check the API documentation here.

API features:

• ✅ User authentication
• ✅ User authorization
• ✅ CRUD operations for tours, users and reviews
• ✅ Advanced filtering
• ✅ Sorting
• ✅ Pagination
• ✅ Aggregation
• ✅ Geospatial queries

Unfortunately I was not able to provide the deployment link for the project, since heroku does not support free plans anymore, other options as Render was considered, but the user expirience was not good enough, since the free plan does not provide a good performance :/
