README
This repo demonstrates how to build a `REST-API`.
REST-API stands for: `Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface`
The tech stack used here are: Node.js and Express.js
Source: `Web Dev Simplified`
# Stages of building:
1. Install dependencies
2. Create the server
3. Create the router
4. Create the route
5. Create the model
6. Test your API
# Connection:
**In .env file:** DATABASE_URL = mongodb://localhost/shoes
**In server.js file:**
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
require("dotenv").config();
mongoose.connect(process.env.DATABASE_URL);
# To check if database is connected:
const db = mongoose.connection;
db.on("error", (error) => {
console.log("error");
});
db.once("open", () => {
console.log("Connected to database");
});
# Extension used for testing the API
REST Client
To use this create a file with a .rest extension and all the urls for different operations.
