Event Management

Project Description

The Event Management API is a RESTful service designed to facilitate the creation and storage of event-related data, including multiple image uploads. Built with Node.js and MongoDB, this API allows users to send event details through a POST request and efficiently manage the storage of event information and associated images. The API is tailored to meet the needs of event organizers, providing a streamlined process for submitting and storing event data.

Key Features

1. Event Data Storage: Allows users to send event details such as name, title, description, location and date through a POST request.
2. Multiple Image Uploads: Supports the upload of multiple images associated with an event. Images are stored locally with a unique timestamped filename.
3. Multer Integration: Utilizes the Multer middleware for handling multipart/form-data, which is essential for uploading images.
4. MongoDB Integration: Stores event data in a MongoDB database, ensuring efficient and reliable data management.
5. API Endpoint: Provides a dedicated endpoint (http://localhost:8032/api/events) for submitting event data and images.
6. Success Response: Sends a success message upon successful data storage and image upload, confirming the creation of the event.

Technical Stack

• Node.js: Provides a fast and scalable runtime environment for building server-side applications.
• Express.js: A minimalist web framework for Node.js, used to build the API endpoints.
• MongoDB: A NoSQL database used for storing event data.
• Multer: A middleware for handling multipart/form-data, used for image uploads.
