README

          
This is a basic implementation of a Quora-like platform where users can perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on posts. Unlike traditional implementations, this version operates entirely in-memory using an array as the data store.

## Features

- **Create:** Users can create new posts by sending a POST request to the `/posts` endpoint with the necessary data.

- **Read:** Posts can be retrieved either individually by their ID or collectively by sending a GET request to the `/posts` endpoint.

- **Update:** Existing posts can be updated by sending a PUT request to the `/posts/{postId}` endpoint with the updated data.

- **Delete:** Users can delete posts by sending a DELETE request to the `/posts/{postId}` endpoint.

## Technologies Used

- **Node.js:** The backend server is built using Node.js, providing a scalable and efficient runtime environment for JavaScript code.

- **Express.js:** Express.js is used to create the RESTful API endpoints and handle HTTP requests.

## Getting Started

To get started with the project, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Install Node.js if not already installed.

3. Navigate to the project directory in your terminal.

4. Install dependencies by running `npm install`.

5. Start the server by running `npm start`.

6. You can now interact with the API endpoints using a tool like Postman or by integrating them into your front-end application.

## API Endpoints

- **GET /posts:** Retrieve all posts.

- **GET /posts/new:** Render a form to create a new post.

- **POST /posts:** Create a new post.

- **GET /posts/show/:id:** Retrieve a specific post by ID and render its details.

- **GET /posts/:id/edit:** Retrieve a specific post by ID and render a form to edit its content.

- **PATCH /posts/:id:** Update an existing post by ID.

- **DELETE /posts/:id:** Delete a post by ID.
