Welcome to A Collection of My Favorite Artists!

In this project, I have gone through the most CRUCIAL operations in web development... Have you guessed it yet? It's CRUD!

Features

Given a database stored locally using a JSON file, this API supports:

• Retrieve artists

  • Get all artists
  • Get a single artist by ID
    (GET)

• Add a new artist

  • Create a new artist with a rating
    (POST)

• Update an artist

  • Modify an artist’s name and/or rating using their ID
    (PUT)

• Delete an artist

  • Remove an artist from the collection
    (DELETE)

Tech Stack

• Node.js – JavaScript runtime
• Express.js – Web framework for building REST APIs
• lowdb – Lightweight local JSON database
• UUID – Unique ID generation
• Postman – API testing and request validation

---

Notes

• Data is persisted locally in a JSON file (db.json)
• All routes follow RESTful API conventions
• API endpoints were tested using Postman

Summary

This project serves as a hands-on introduction to building a REST API and understanding how CRUD operations work together in a real backend workflow.
