Since I couldn't find the author's github project link, I decided to create one, with:

• some unfinished code realised
• and swagger documentation code rewritten

What you would have on hand

• Database "clean", feel free to add your favorite database managment tools
• Filtering, Sorting, Pagination integrated (only for Workout.js)
• Use data caching for performance improvements, with apicache, redisis an alternative
• API documentation with Swagger
• Integrated API access logging middleware with morgan
• Some other practices might be too specified, not included.

Refs

• SwaggerUI documentation for writting /v1/docs/, quite time-consuming, I would even suggest you guys go try writting APIs with Python FastAPI 😓😓😓 https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/main/versions/3.0.3.md
