Quite a few people keep a journal, as there are many benefits to doing so, including better self awareness, stress relief, and increased problem solving capabilities.
Pen and paper can be great, but we're here to learn web development.
In doing so, we're going to create a personal journal using Angular 2, and an Express API.

We've created a seedfile in bin/seeds.js, run the seedfile to save the journal entries to the database.
This route should be located at /api/journal-entries, and should response with a JSON array of objects of all journal entries in the database.
Create an Angular service to retrieve journal entries from your API. The endpoint is located at GET /api/journal-entries.
Create an entry-list component which uses this service and find and display a list of your entries upon loading, with only the title and date.
Add the Angular router to your application. Create the home route which will make use of your entry-list component.
Add a method to your journal-entries service to retrieve a single journal entry. The single journal entry endpoint is located at /api/journal-entries/:id
Create a single-entry component which finds a single entry from the API by it's ID, and displays the title, date, and content.
Finally, add a route to your Angular router, /:id which will render your single-entry component.
Add a new method to your service that takes in an object containing a title and content, and makes a POST request to /api/journal-entries.
Create an entry-form-component and display it on the home page with the list of all of your journal entries. Optionally, add a button to show and hide the form.
Upon submission of this form, use your journal-entries service to make a POST request to the API and create the new entry.
Upon success of this submission, make sure the new journal entry is displayed on the home page.
