A2Sv has a famous telegram channel called A2SV celebrations where we celebrate community members on their special days and their great achievements. However, all that showering of blessings and best wishes plus those great achievements get buried in the background as new members join the community and legends become forgotten, teaching stories become shadowed.

In this project you'll be required to develop a blog application where people will be able to write their blog articles, comment on articles as well as clap and celebrate people's articles. People should register as well as complete an authentication process if they want to apply write related features in their system.

• People should be allowed to register and sign in to their respective accounts
• People can write/update/delete articles of their own as well as see what other people have written
• People can write/update/delete comments of their own as well as see what other people have written on a particular article
• People can clap/UnClap for articles
• People should only be allowed to update articles/comments when it's their own

• Unit Testing is mandatory at every feature you add or modify
• Documentation is mandatory at every phase
• Set a PR and assign a reviewer always for the changes you want to push to master

• No Authorization implementation
• No Authentication implementation
• No interlinking between models. Set their values statically for now

We will use MVC Architecture. i.e we will have models, routes and controllers.

• server.ts file is used to create our express app and create mongodb connection through mongoose package.
• under the routes file we will set up our express routers for each model
• under controllers we will use models and do CRUD operations and this operations are going to be called by routes
• routes are called by app.ts based on paths
• look at the scripts under package.json file on how to run the project(you just need to use 'npm run dev')
