tourTide-server

A backend server for managing tour packages and bookings for the TourTide platform.

Overview

This project provides a RESTful API built with Node.js and Express to support operations for a tour booking application. It integrates with MongoDB for data persistence and uses Firebase for authentication. The server offers endpoints for:

• Managing tour packages (CRUD operations)
• Handling bookings (create, update, list)
• Searching and filtering packages
• JWT-based authentication and authorization

Features

• Tour Packages: Add, update, delete, and retrieve tour packages. Includes endpoints for listing all packages, searching by name/destination, and fetching package details.
• Bookings: Create new bookings, update booking status, list all bookings, and filter bookings by user email.
• Authentication: Uses Firebase Admin SDK for verifying tokens and issues JWT tokens for client sessions.
• Security: Protected routes require valid JWTs for sensitive actions (like managing packages or viewing user-specific bookings).
• CORS and Environment Configuration: Supports environment-specific configurations for deployment and development.

API Endpoints (Sample)

• POST /jwt – Authenticate and receive a JWT.
• GET /tour-card-data – Retrieve 6 packages for the homepage.
• GET /tour-card-data/details/:id – Get details of a specific tour package.
• GET /all-packages – List all packages.
• GET /all-packages/search?text= – Search packages by name or destination.
• POST /add-tour-packages – Add a new tour package (authenticated).
• PATCH /package/:id – Update a tour package (authenticated).
