this repository hosts an example API for Campus Maps.
written in javascript using node + express, this was a simple example of an API that leverages JSON web tokens (JWTs) for authorization and authentication. you can use this repo as a template and create your own custom API for your own use cases if needed.
for the databases, this repo uses SQLite3 (download | npm lib) for simple, secure, and speedy data storage. you can easily swap this out with the database of your choice.
for secrets, this server uses dotenv for storing and retrieving them. it is never a good idea to place secrets directly in your code.
