My notes...
I need to fix the index.js file.
-
I can remove the "userDataSample" stuff now if i'm going to be using the MongoDB - but should keep it in there for using when the DB isn't installed or available. Load sample data.
-
I've got a problem when calling the /add/users stuff because it still loads the dummy data.
-
I've got that call to the /add/users in there twice.. i shouldn't be duplicating this.
- npm init
- npm install express --save
- npm install body-parser --save # to be able to grab form data ?
We got the form done. And we got validation working! Now i'm leaving off here - committing to git, and will start the MongoDB part next.
Next. MongoDB https://youtu.be/gnsO8-xJ8rs?t=51m22s
To get started.
- mongo - start the CLI
- show dbs - show the databases.
- use customerapp - create a new db called 'customerapp' and switch to it.
- db.createCollection('users') - create's a collection called 'users.
- show collections -- to see all collections
- db.users.insert -- see below!
- db.users.find() -- to see all the data :)
Now we can start inserting data.
- db.users.insert.... -- see below.
db.users.insert([
{
first_name:'aaa',
last_name:'AAA',
email:'aaa@test.com'
},
{
first_name:'bbb',
last_name:'BBB',
email:'bbb@test.com'
},
{
first_name:'ccc',
last_name:'CCC',
email:'ccc@test.com'
}
])db.users.insert([{first_name:'aaa',last_name:'AAA',email:'aaa@test.com'}, {first_name:'bbb',last_name:'BBB',email:'bbb@test.com'}, {first_name:'ccc',last_name:'CCC',email:'ccc@test.com'}])Don't forget to install it.
npm install mongojs --save
