# ExpressJS Mongoose Example

This example starts an [ExpressJS](https://expressjs.com/) server that connects to a Railway MongoDB database using [MongooseJS](https://mongoosejs.com/)

[![Deploy on Railway](https://railway.app/button.svg)](https://railway.app/new/template/RM1WxR)

## ✨ Features

- Express
- TypeScript
- MongoDB with Mongoose

## 💁‍♀️ How to use

- Install dependencies `yarn`
- Connect to your Railway project `railway link`
- Start the development server `railway run yarn dev`

## 📝 Notes

The starter contains a single `Country` model that you can read from and write to.

There are two main routes on the server:

- A `GET` route - `/countries` which returns all the countries
- A `POST` route - `/countries` which can be used to add a new country

Example post request to add a new country:

```
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
-d '{"name":"India","iso2code":"IN"}' \
http://localhost:3333/countries
```
