REST API NodeJS

REST API using Node.js and Express.js framework with MysqlCache for working with Mysql.

Security API

Currently, the API can be reached by everyone who has the db's credentials specified in "root_project/config/config.js".

How can we add security ?

Basics:

• Specify rules, for each users
• Use secure http (https)
