## Introduction

This RESTful e-commerce back end allows developers to perform CRUD API calls like view, add, update and delete. It would allow a developer to test requests using Insomnia to prepare for front-end integration.

This CLI application uses npm packages `Express`, `Sequelize`, `mysql2` and `dotenv`.

I made this app in order to learn how to implement a database model using Sequelize.

I used GitHub Projects and various Pull Requests to create this app: https://github.com/leoelicos/taggr/projects/1

Deployed: https://taggr.herokuapp.com/api/products
