Blog Platform API with Auth

Build a blog backend with JWT-based user authentication, post creation, tagging, and pagination. Learn auth patterns and API design that carry into every backend project.

You will learn to:

• Implement JWT-based authentication: registration, login, and token verification
• Hash passwords securely using bcrypt
• Protect routes with authentication middleware
• Enforce ownership rules: users can only modify their own resources
• Implement server-side pagination for list endpoints
