expressMongoPlayground

Quick Express and Mongo App built with http://expressjs.com/de/starter/generator.html

Start it from the commandline via DEBUG=myapp:* npm start Or via IntelliJ using the Node Run Config using bin/www as JavaScript-File It binds to port 3000 or to `$PORT

You can interact with the app in the following ways

• GET: localhost:3000/users/ returns all users
• PUT: localhost:3000/users/ with a JSON body {"username":"user3"} Puts a new document in the DB having a generated ID
• PUT: localhost:3000/users/ with a JSON body {"_id:"123",username":"user3"} Puts a new document in the DB having ID '123'
• POST: localhost:3000/users/123 with a JSON body {username":"user5"} Puts a new document in the DB replacing the document found under ID '123'
• POST: localhost:3000/users/user3/user4 without a JSON body. Replaces in the document with name 'user3' the username 'user4'. This method is just a quick hack to experiment with different Mongo update mechanisms and probably makes Roy Fielding cry.

For now it expects a running MongoDB at the default port 27017, and having a database called playground1

I installed Mongo on a Mac via Homebrew and started it via mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf You can start it as a service using brew services start mongodb
