CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete.)

• This CRUD API is a simple implementation of a RESTful API.
• I Created This Using JS, NodeJS, Express, Nodemon, Mongoose, and MongoDB.
• Tested Using Insomnia and Postman

Demo

Purpose

I started this project to gain a stronger understanding of JavaScript and NodeJS to prepare for my IBM Joint Study Interview. Additionally, I hoped to gain a more comprehensive understanding of backend development and APIs. Finally, I looked to gain experience in using and manipulating a database.

Tools Used

• Javascript - Programming language.
• NodeJS - Javascript server runtime environment.
• Express - NodeJS web application framework.
• Nodemon - NodeJS tool allowing for asynchronous express development.
• Mongoose - NodeJS ODM library for easy manipulation and reading of MongoDB database.
• MongoDB - Database used to hold our 'product' information.
• Insomnia - RESTful API Debugging/Testing Utility.

Using JavaScript and NodeJS, I have created a simple Backend API that can serve the following functions.

1. C reate a new instance of 'product' which is initialized and declared into our MongoDB Database.
2. R ead existing instances of 'product' based on its product ID number from the Database.
3. U pdate existing instances of 'product' to replace the value(s) associated with the 'product'.
4. D elete existing instances of 'product' from the database based on its ID number.

Future Project Goals.

1. Create a front-end product to push and pull from the database.
2. Add more features of querying the database
