Setup

• npm install
• npm run init-database
• npm run build
• npm start

Ultimate Goal:

• Setup express.js to provide routing & basic CRUD endpoints to accommodate with front-end functionality

Step 1

• Check Express.js official docs to get started
• Define port with port number 3333
• Set up relevant middlewares alongside with express (body parser, CORS, morgan, etc)
• Serve static files (html, css) in /client/public folder using express.static
• Understand the purpose of '/' argument in serving static files
• Direct all requests after the url '/api' with express router
• Initialize the express server with listen method, providing port and callback

Step 2

• Initialize router.js file with require statements.
• Create a route to '/add' with a POST request to invoke addOne() in controllers.js
• export router object

Step 3

• Fill in request handling in controller.js for addOne() method (refer to official docs if needed)
• Test '/add' endpoint via Postman

Step 4

• Create a route to '/all' with a GET request to invoke getAll() in controllers.js
• Fill in request handling in controller.js for getAll() method (refer to official docs if needed)
• Test via Postman

Step 5

• Create a route to '/all' with a DELETE request to invoke deleteAll() in controllers.js
• Fill in request handling in controller.js for deleteAll() method (refer to official docs if needed)
• Test via Postman

Step 6

• Create a route to '/deleteOne/:id' with a DELETE request to invoke deleteOne() in controllers.js
• Fill in request handling in controller.js for deleteOne() method (refer to official docs if needed)
• Test via Postman

EXTRA CREDIT

• Add an UPDATE endpoint to your routes for update functionality (requires further front-end integration)
• Serve an ABOUT page with express static
