Rest API

This is our first Rest Api we have practiced to create in node. It provides CRUD operations on a resource, which is defined in the datastorage module.

Overview

this server uses Express for routing and CORS to handle cross-origin requests. You can use variable sources: employees and computers.

Route

http://localhost:3000/api/computers

This API works for both endpoints: computers and employees

inside the storageLayer.js: you need to uncomment line 11-13 and comment line 7-9 to change the route to

http://localhost:3000/api/employees

Running the Server

1. Clone this repo to your local machine.
2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Start the server:

node restServer.js

UI

4. you can run this program also in your browser with the provided UI: just drag and drop the html file inside the folder: restTester to your browserwindow and put in the endpoint: "computers"

Implementing also frontend

with Node. js Fetch API

to be able to make API requests and responses on the server
