🚀 New Release: Library Books API v1.1.0 — Now with Auth and Enhanced Filtering!
Hey Devs! 👋
I'm excited to share that version 1.1.0 of my Library Books Backend API is now live! This update brings a bunch of quality-of-life improvements, especially for developers building full-stack apps with user authentication and MongoDB.
🔑 Key Features
🔐 User Authentication (Login + Logout)
You can now register users, securely log them in using JWT tokens, and manage access to protected routes!
📚 Book Management with MongoDB
All book data is stored in MongoDB, with support for:
- Adding new books
- Retrieving all books
- Filtering free books based on
price("Free", "0", or 0)
🛠 Improved API Responses
Consistent JSON responses across all routes — no more missing fields!
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed
"Illegal arguments: string, undefined"caused by usingUser.find()instead offindOne(). - Resolved a MongoDB Atlas connection failure due to bad auth.
- Ensured that the
pricefield is always included in the book data returned from the database.
🧪 Example Book Object
{
"name": "Story Book",
"title": "A Friend and a Foe",
"price": "Free",
"category": "Story",
