ThoughtStream is a Digital Diary application. User's can create accounts, post custom diary entries, and manage their journals.
To setup, run the following:
npm install
npm start
- MONGO_URI
- WEATHER_API_KEY
- PORT
Get, Post, Put, Delete
In order to use the API, start the server than open Postman. To make a post, connect to the localhost port in Postman and select POST. Here is an example post that can be entered into the body tag.
Note that I changed the location schema to accept an object with keys city and country.
{
"title": "Entry title",
"content": "Post content",
"reflection": "Optional reflection",
"tags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
"location": {
"city": "Vancouver",
"country": "US"
}
}
Overall, the project went well, it was helpful to have some scaffolding to work from. My biggest hickup was that I had named my .env file .dotenv, eventually it sank in.
