Job Listings and User Management Platform

Welcome to the Job Listings and User Management Platform! This website provides a comprehensive solution for managing job postings and user registrations, with a focus on efficient querying, filtering, and job management.

Features

1. User Management

• Registration & Authentication: Users can register on the platform with strong validation rules, including email format checks and password hashing.
• Profile Viewing: Authenticated users can view their own profiles using the me query.
• Authorization: The platform uses role-based permissions to restrict access to certain functionalities, ensuring secure operations.

  2. Job Listings

• Create and Manage Jobs: Users can create job listings, including information like job title, location, company details, and more. Each job can be associated with multiple tags for better categorization.
• Job Highlighting: Certain jobs can be highlighted or pinned to increase visibility.
• Tag Management: Jobs can be associated with tags, which help in filtering and organizing listings.
• Pagination and Sorting: Efficient pagination and sorting capabilities allow users to browse job listings based on criteria like creation date and pinned status.

  3. Tag Management

• Tag Listings: The platform allows for the creation and management of tags, which can be associated with job listings to improve categorization and search functionality.
• Search by Tags: Users can filter job listings based on associated tags, making it easier to find relevant job postings.

  4. GraphQL API

• Flexible Queries: The platform provides a powerful GraphQL API that supports complex queries, including filtering, sorting, and pagination. This allows for a highly customizable data retrieval experience.
• Input Validation: The API ensures that all inputs are validated against defined rules, ensuring data integrity and security.
• Custom Resolvers: The platform uses custom GraphQL resolvers to handle complex business logic, such as conditional filtering based on user input.

  5. Security

• Data Validation: Strict validation rules are applied across the platform to prevent invalid data entries.
• Authentication & Authorization: The platform is secured with authentication mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can perform certain actions.
• Guarded Mutations: Sensitive mutations, such as job updates, are guarded by permissions to ensure that only authorized users can make changes.
