codess-2018-nodejs

Completed example of the codess 2018 workshop I ran. ❤️💙💚

This project is designed to be an introduction into nodejs service development! This repository specifically houses an example implementation of a service for sharing brief messages posted by a specific user, and viewable by many.

Prerequisites

Before you start, please make sure you've installed these things:

• NodeJS
• VS Code (or equivalent)
• Azure CLI (optional, for deployment)

Usage

To build and run this project, please follow these steps:

• Clone or download this repository
• Open a shell (command prompt or terminal should work just fine)
• cd into the directory you downloaded the project into
• npm install to install NodeJS dependencies
• npm start to begin running the service
• Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to use the test frontend, or use a tool like Postman to directly issue requests against the API.

Please feel free to inspect the code (it is well commented) and open issues with any questions you might have!
