Backend Assistance Request

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on the backend for the RealWorld application, built using React. However, I’ve encountered some challenges due to recent updates to the API specifications. As mentioned in this GitHub discussion, the project will no longer be maintained. The API server has been deleted, and the demo deployment is no longer available, which has introduced some issues for developers relying on it.

If anyone has experience with these changes or expertise in implementing the backend, I’d greatly appreciate your assistance in adapting my backend to align with the updated specifications. Your support will be essential in ensuring compatibility and smooth operation for the app.

As a temporary solution, we can use the official backend implementation from this GitHub repository or explore other community-backed implementations available through Codebase Show. These resources should help keep the project running while I work on resolving the backend issues.

For further details and feedback, please refer to the Backend Assistance Request Issue for more context and ongoing updates.

Feel free to reach out or contribute to the repository if you can provide help!

Features

The example application is a social blogging site (i.e. a Medium.com clone) called "Conduit". It uses a custom API for all requests, including authentication.

• CRU- users (sign up & settings page - no deleting required)
• CRUD Articles
• CR-D Comments on articles (no updating required)

• Favorite articles
• Follow other users

The general page breakdown:

• Home page (URL: / )
  • List of tags
  • List of articles pulled from either Feed, Global, or by Tag
  • Pagination for list of articles
• Sign in/Sign up pages (URL: /login, /register )
  • Uses JWT (store the token in localStorage)
  • Authentication can be easily switched to session/cookie based
• Settings page (URL: /settings )
• Editor page to create/edit articles (URL: /editor, /editor/article-slug-here )
• Article page (URL: /article/article-slug-here )
