Checkpoint Objective In this checkpoint, you will be performing a series of guided instructions to create a REST API by manipulating your database with mongoose.
PS: don't forget to comment on your code before submitting it. Instructions Start a new Node JS project with ‘ npm init ‘ Install the mongoose and express and .env Configure the environment variables with .env Lunch a server with express in the server.js file Connect your database locally or with mongo atlas The Folder structure should be like this : config/ .env
Server.js
7. Create a models folder and a User.js file in it
8. In User.js you must define a mongoose Schema and export the model , you will use it in the server.js
9. The Folder structure should be like this :
config/ .env
models/User.js
Server.js
10. In the server.js create four routes :
GET : RETURN ALL USERS
POST : ADD A NEW USER TO THE DATABASE
PUT : EDIT A USER BY ID
DELETE : REMOVE A USER BY ID
NB : in each callback function you will use mongoose methods to manipulate your data and return it in the response
11. Use postman to test each route.
