# Express REST API
This is a static website using Express on the backend to construct a REST API to generate barcodes and QR codes.
 
# Overview

2. [Requirements](#requirements)
3. [Installation](#installation)
4. [Running](#running)
# Description
I had previous experience building an API such as my [**MEAN Template**](https://github.com/jghaden/mean-template), but I wanted to experiment more by working with API keys and secrets. As of right now, the API Key is generated by [**jsonwebtoken**](https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonwebtoken) for the sake of easy verification and the API secret is a alphanumeric string generated by [**randomstring**](https://www.npmjs.com/package/randomstring).
# Requirements
This application requires installation of [**NodeJS**](https://nodejs.org/) prior to running.
# Installation
```
$ npm install
```
## Start server
If you wish to have [**nodemon**](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodemon) watch your code changes, run:
```
$ npm dev
```
or you wish to start the server only with Node:
```
$ npm start
```
# Running
### Generate API key and secret by providing a username
### Leaving the API Key and Secret blank will use default values
### Or, you can enter your own API key and Secret to generate a barcode or QR code
