[Feat] Setup Blog Schema and Implement Blog Data Fetching from Database

[kavya410004]

Description

Description:
The blog functionality is not yet implemented in the application. To support blog posts, we first need to create a database schema for blogs and set up fetching data from the database. This will provide the foundation for adding blog-related features in future tasks, such as displaying blog summaries and individual blog content on the frontend.

Proposed Solution:

1. Define the Blog Schema:

   • Create a new Blog model in the schema.prisma file with fields such as:
     • id: Unique identifier for each blog.
     • title: Title of the blog post.
     • content: Main content of the blog.
     • image: URL for the blog's cover image.
     • authorId: Identifier linking the blog to a User.
     • createdAt: Timestamp of when the blog was created.
     • updatedAt: Timestamp of when the blog was last updated.
   • Establish relationships if needed (e.g., link blogs to User as author).
   • Run prisma db push to sync the new schema with the MongoDB database.

2. Create Sample Blog Data:

   • Add 2-3 initial blog entries to the database to facilitate testing of the fetching logic.

3. Set Up Data Fetching Logic:

   • Implement backend API endpoints to retrieve blog data.
   • Create endpoints such as:
     • GET /api/blogs: Fetch a list of blog summaries.
     • GET /api/blogs/:id: Fetch full details of a specific blog by id.
   • Ensure the data retrieval works correctly and returns the necessary fields for displaying on the frontend.

Expected Outcome:

• A Blog schema is defined in the database, and blog data is stored correctly.
• API endpoints for fetching blog summaries and individual blog details are functional.
• Initial blog data is available in the database for testing further frontend implementation.

Additional Information:
This foundational setup will allow for a seamless transition to implementing the Blog Grid page and individual Blog Page functionality in a follow-up issue. The next step will focus on dynamically loading the blog content using this database connection.
