My task is to build an API for a social network web application where users can share their thoughts, react to friends’ thoughts, and create a friend list. Use Express.js for routing, a MongoDB database, and the Mongoose ODM. In addition to using the Express.js (Links to an external site.) and Mongoose (Links to an external site.) packages, you may also optionally use a JavaScript date library of my choice or the native JavaScript Date object to format timestamps.
Clone the repository, navigate to the project folder on your CLI and run the following command to install Node.js:
npm install
Run the following command on your CLI to run the application:
npm start
Then navigate to insomia or localhost:3001 to test the api routes.
The following animation shows GET routes to return all users and all thoughts being tested in Insomnia:
