Welcome to the API-project wiki!

Reflection: Learned a lot about what it takes to do the backend of a full stack project. Got a lot of practice with express and security middleware. Learned lots about how data is validated in Sequelize and express-validator. And lastly learned how to implement right body structures for both success messages and error handlers.

Screenshots for reference later on..

Reflection prompts: Was there something that you really struggled with and had to come up with a creative solution for? Is there any code logic or syntax that you're proud of? Is there any code that works, but you think could use improvement? Explain why. Is there any section of code that you think is particularly clean/maintainable? Was there anything you did to make the code DRYer? What did you struggle with most during the project (time management, querying, etc.)? What lessons will you carry with you to your next project to reduce that struggle? What did you learn about yourself as a solo programmer? Were there any tools that you used improve your workflow? Is there something you would have done differently if you were to do it over again? Is there something you would like to have done but didn't have the time to do? How would you have approached that feature or task? Was there a moment that you wanted to give up, but you pushed through? How did you keep yourself going? Is there something that you're excited about working on more in the future? What did you learn about backend development? What parts of backend development are a good fit with your interests and goals? What parts are not? If you were given a similar project to do now, do you think you could do it independently without an instructor? If not, how can you approach the next project with that in mind as one of your project completion goals? What other features can you add to your project? Is there any advice you could give to another developer looking to do the same thing as you?
