Back-End-Skills

RESTful API project

Getting Started

This is my rest api project for LUT University Software Development Skills: Back-End Anytime-course.

Installing

In this project I use express, nodemon, mongodb, mongoose and body-parser as dependencies. It is recommended to install nodemon globally to your system path, so you can run it by calling it from within an npm script.

npm install express mongodb --save

npm install -g nodemon 

npm install mongoose body-parser

Running the tests

I use Postman for testing my code, www.postman.com.

More

I have project called "rest-project", with 2 collections in it (movies and genres). In following i will show example how to get things started.

First i have to activate mongo, so i run this on my terminal:

sudo systemctl start mongod.service

Then I navigate to VScode and run this command on integrated terminal:

npm start

And i should get this as a response:

Listening on port 5000...

Then Im all ready to code! To see the my project in live action, see my YouTube reference linked above.
