The goal of this project was to practice creating APIs using Express. The task was to creat APIs with different RESTful endpoints which return either an array of data, or a single item.
- API should have at least 2 routes. Try to push yourself to do more, though!
- A minimum of one endpoint to return a collection of results (array of elements)
- A minimum of one endpoint to return a single result (single element).
- API should be RESTful
- On routes which return a single item, handle when the item doesn't exist and return some useful data in the response.
- Accept filters via query parameters to filter the data you return from endpoints which return an array of data.
- Build a frontend which uses your API in some way to show the data in a nice way.
- If your dataset is large, implement'pages' using
.slice()to return only a selection of results from the array. You could then use a query parameter to allow the client to ask for the next 'page'. - Create useful documentation for your endpoints. What's a good way to present this documentation? What if it changes in the future? Are there any npm packages that could help with this?
