Demo web: http://ayxos.com:8001/

Spanish explanation is here: http://ayxos.com/como-crear-una-web-apirest-con-node-js-y-no-morir-en-el-intento/

It's very simple

• creating a basic express with node

cd express_example && npm install

This will install packages and you will see a lot of output. When this is complete you can boot your application.

Boot the app

That's all the setup you need. Phew. Now you can boot the app:

npm install -g express
express -c stylus express_example
node app.js

• Adding mongoose driver to conect node and mongoDB -> package.json
• Create a file called db.js for db schema
• insert db.js path at top of app.js
• redo index.js to connect with new mongo DB

#New_features

• Adding restAPI CRUD methods
• New db_model
• Delete Method is working using a HACK get method
• Adding nodemon, similar to grunt watch, there's no need to restart server, it does automatically
• Adding pm2 to keep server alive

Basic mongo commands

show dbs
use dbs_name
db.dropDatabase();
show collections
db.collection_name.find().pretty()
db.collection_name.drop()
