Multi-purpose platform in Node.js and MongoDB

A multi-purpose platform is created in Node.js and MongoDB. Developing an API in Node.js and MongoDB allows you to create real-time, high performance and scalable applications. When you are building a website or a mobile app, you might have a different design than what is already built. But your backend will be almost similar to your competitor. Let’s say you want to build a social network like Facebook. You will pick an HTML template or design a UI specific for your business. But you want to have a module to create users, posts, pages, groups, friends, chats and much more.

So we are providing you a multi-purpose platform that allows you to use social network, job portal, manage your media files and much more. It is a self-hosted script so all the data will be stored on your server, no third-party storage service is used here.

User Registration and Profile 🙋🏻‍♂️

This API allows you to register an account. The passwords are encrypted before saving them in database. User can also login using his email and password that he entered during registration.

On successfull login, a Json Web Token (JWT) is generated and returned in the API response. The client application needs to save that token in its local storage because that token will be use in other APIs in headers to identify the user. This token is also stored in server as well. So if you want to logout a user manually, you can simply remove his token from database.

User can edit his name and profile image. The email field is read-only, it cannot be changed. User can also change his password. For that, he needs to provide his current password and enter his new password 2 times for confirmation.

Social Network Posts 📝

If you are building a social network, then this module allows you to create and manage posts for a social network. You can also share other’s posts on your timeline. You can edit or remove your own posts. Other users will be able to like, comment or share your posts. Users will be able to edit to delete their own comments. You will be able to reply to the comments on your posts, and you can also edit or remove your reply if you want. Users can also see the list of all users who has liked or shared your post.

Pages 📃

If you are running a business, you can create a page for your business and start posting about your products or services in that page. In order to create a page, you need to set it’s name, tell a little about the page, and provide a cover photo for the page. User can follow your page and start seeing your page’s posts in their newsfeed. Only creator of page can create a post in that page.

You can see a list of all users who has followed your page. User can also see a list of all pages he has followed. The owner of the page can edit or delete the page. Once page is deleted, all the posts inside that will be deleted as well.

Groups 🥳

You can create groups to create a community of like-minded people. In order to create a group, you need to enter the name of group, a little description about the group and it’s cover photo. You can see a list of all groups created in the platform. There are separate links from where you can see only the groups that you have created or the groups you have joined. You can join or leave the group whenever you want. However, admin of the group can also remove you from the group if he wants.

Only admin or group members can post in a group. Posts uploaded by admin will be immediately displayed on the groups newsfeed. However, the posts uploaded by group members will be held pending for approval from the admin. Admin can see a list of all posts uploaded by group members. He can accept or decline a post he wants.

Admin of the group can update the name or description of the group, and he can also change the cover photo of the group. Admin can delete the group as well. Upon deleting, all the posts uploaded in that group will be deleted as well.

Media 📂

This API allows you to upload media files (images, videos) on the platform. Each media file will have a title, alt attribute, and caption. These will help you in your Search Engine Optimization (SEO). You can edit or delete your own media files whenever you want.

Friends 🙏🏻

You can create friends by sending them a friend request, just like you do in Facebook. Other user can see a list of all friend requests he has received. He can accept or decline your request. If accepted, then you both will become friends and you can chat with each other. You can see a list of all of your friends. At any point, you can remove a user from your friend list.

Realtime Chat 💬

You can have realtime chat with your friends. Chats are end-to-end encrypted, that means that the messages are encrypted before sending to the server. And they are decrypted only after receiving the response from the server. Your messages will remain secure in-transit.

For realtime communication, we are using Socket IO. When you send a message, an event is emitted. The receiver will be listening to that event and display a notification alert that you have received a new message. If the chat is already opened, then the new message will automatically be appended at the bottom of the chat.

Job Portal 👨🏻‍🔧 👨🏻‍🍳 👩🏻‍🏫 👩🏻‍🎨

Since this is a multi-purpose platform and it is developed in scalable technologies (Node.js & MongoDB), a job portal platform is also added that allows recruiter to post jobs and candidates can apply on that job. Recruiter can see all the applications he has received on a job and can change the status of applicant to shortlisted, interviewing, rejected or selected etc. Candidate can upload multiple CVs and choose the relevant CV while applying for the job. Recruiter can update or delete the job any time.

You can also filter job applications by status. So if you are recruiter, you will post a job. Then you will start receiving applications from candidates. Recruiter can change the status from interviewing to shortlisted employess. Then recruiter can change the status to interviewing. Recruiter can also reject the candidate, but he also needs to provide a reason for rejection. Finally, recruiter can set the candidate as “Hired”. So there must be a way for recruiter to filter job applications by their status.

We also have a PHP and MySQL version of Job Portal website. You can get it from here.

Admin Panel 👨🏻‍💼

An admin panel is created where you can manage all the users, social network posts and jobs created on the platform. It is a single page application created in React JS and can be deployed as a sub-domain to your main website.

Super admin can see the list of all users. He can add a new user if he wants. An email with password set by admin will be sent to the new user. Admin can also update the user password as well. He can also delete the user, all the posts uploaded by that user will be deleted as well.

Super admin can see all the posts uploaded on social network platform. Just like users, he can delete any post he did not feel appropriate.

Admin can also see all the jobs posted by recruiter and if any job post goes against the standards, super admin can remove it.

Blogs 📜

Since this is a multi-purpose platform, so I added a blog module that allows you to write articles on your website. Admin can create blogs from admin panel and they will be displayed on user side. User can post a comment if they are logged-in. Other users or admin can reply to their comments. Admin can manage all posts and comments from admin panel. Admin can delete any post or command he did not find suitable.

We are using sockets to update the blogs in realtime. So if user is reading a post and admin changes something from admin panel, it will immediately gets updated on user side. User does not need to refresh the page.

Page Builder 🏗

We are using page builder to create blog posts. It allows you to create paragraphs, headings, images, videos and buttons.

You can set the attributes like id and class. You can also set CSS properties of each tag.

If you are using image or video, you can add alt and caption attributes as well.

Freelance Platform 👨🏻‍💻 🤑

This multi-purpose platform project also has a freelance platform where you can hire experts to get your job done. Or, if you are a skilled person, you can find work there.

There are 2 entities in freelance platform: Buyer 💰 and Seller 🤑. Buyer will create a task to be done, he will mention his budget and deadline. Buyer must have sufficient balance in their account. They can add balance using Stripe. 💳

Sellers will start bidding on that task. Seller will also send a proposal mentioning how he will get the work done, what is his offer and in how many days he will do it. 🌚

Buyer will see all the bids from sellers. He will also see a freelance profile of each bidder, telling the orders done by each seller, their ratings and reviews etc. ⭐️

Buyer can accept the bid of any seller he seems fit for the job. The seller will be notified and their order will be started. ⏰

On their order detail page, they can chat with each other. They can send messages 💬 with attachments 🧷. At any point, buyer or seller can cancel the order.

After the work is done, buyer can complete the order ✅. Once it is completed, the amount that was offered in the bid will be deducted from buyer’s account. 5 percent will be deducted as a “platform fee”, and the remaining 95% of the amount will be added in the seller’s account 🤑.

Buyer can also gives ratings ⭐️ to a seller and also can give a review about his experience. This will help seller build his freelance profile.

Seller can withdraw the money by entering his bank account details 🏦. These details will be sent to the admin panel 👨🏻‍💼. Admin can transfer the funds and once the transfer is completed, seller’s balance will be returned to 0.

Notifications 🔔

User will receive a notification when:

His freelance order gets completed/cancelled.
A new message has been received on his order.
His bid got accepted on freelance project.
His withdrawl request has been updated.
Someone commented on his post.
Someone replied to his comment.
Someone likes his post on social network.

These notifications will be displayed as a bell icon 🔔 on header when user is logged-in. If he has any unread notifications, then it will be displayed as read.

Unread notification’s background will be gray. On clicking the notification, it will be marked as read.

Installer 🤹🏻‍♂️

Run the following commands in your “admin” folder:

npm install
npm start

In order to create a super admin, you need to run the following command in your “premium-api” folder once:

node installer.js

This will create a super admin in your database. You can set the email and password of your choice from “installer.js” file.

Paste the “multi-purpose-platform-nodejs-mongodb” folder in your “htdocs” folder if you are using XAMPP or MAMP, or in “www” folder if you are using WAMP.

Run the following commands in the “premium-api” folder:

npm update
npm install -g nodemon
nodemon index.js
