# RESTful-Web-APIs-with-Node.js-and-Express 


Building RESTful Web APIs with Node.js and Express


npm init = command to create a package.json


npm i --save express  = Expressjs is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework


[install the mongoDB]


npm i --save mongoose = mongodb object modeling for node.js (writing MongoDB validation, casting and business logic boilerplate is a drag. That's why we wrote Mongoose). Mongoose provides a straight-forward, schema-based solution to model your application data. It includes built-in type casting, validation, query building, business logic hooks and more, out of the box.


npm i -save nodemon = nodemon reload, automatically. Automatic restarting of application. Detects default file extension to monitor.


npm i -save-dev babel-cli babel-preset-es2015 babel-preset-stage-0 = Babel convert ECMAScript code into a backwards compatible version of JavaScript in current and older browsers or environments.

npm i -save body-parser = extract the entire body portion of an incoming request stream and exposes it on req.body. This body-parser module parses the JSON, buffer, string and URL encoded data submitted using HTTP POST request.

//Mongoose connection 


mongoose.Promise = global.Promise; 


mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost/CRMdb", { 


  useMongoClient: true 


}); 


//Body parser setup 


app.use( 


  bodyParser.urlencoded({ 


    extended: true 


  }) 


); 


app.use(bodyParser.json());
