Fetch Practice

This repo is meant to be used with the Mod 2 Network Request lesson plan.

Backend Installation / Set up

1. git clone the repo
2. cd into the cloned repo
3. run npm install
4. run npm start. The server should be running locally on port 3001
5. Navigate to the endpoint you're trying to request in the browser (ie if you want to GET users, navigate to http://localhost:3001/api/v1/users in the browser)
6. Practice making your network requests in the console!

Frontend Setup

In the client directory, there are some files we can use as a makeshift client.

1. run open client/index.html from your command line
2. open your console, so that you can check your fetch requests using either debugger or console.log() ("so fetch!" should be showing up in your console on page load.)
3. follow the directions in client/index.js to practice fetching! (feel free to get rid of the gif if it's too distracting)

Your challenge

Follow the directions that are commented out in client/index.js.

The following endpoints are documented below:

• GET all users
