Two apis were used for this project. First one was the datamuse Which is a external api i used to get all rhyming data for the game. The second api was an express api I made for the game to run on. It handles all user and authentication methods, as well as all game methods. rhymetime_backend
The frontend was built using React, React-router, Tailwind, and javascript. The Backend was built using Node.js With express.js and PostgreSql database
When it comes to testing i used jest to write tests for all backend methods and tested my api like that.
