RESTful API with Node.js

Built using Babel, Express and Mongoose

This repository is the final result of the series of posts Building a REST API with Node.js listed in my blog.

Features like validation and unit testing are only implemented for some of the routes since the goal is to just provide them as an example to develop any kind of RESTful API.
