rafi007akhtar / routes

Social media-ish REST API server built using NodeJS and its Express framework.

routes

This project was a part of an online course that I took on Express.

Its basic goal is to run a server that sets routing endpoints for social media posts and comments.

Usage

Terminal 1

• Open a new Terminal (or cmd), clone the repo, and enter the root folder

   git clone https://github.com/rafi007akhtar/routes.git
   cd routes

• Load the npm modules (defined inside package.json)

   npm init -y

• Start the server

   npm start

Terminal 2

On another Terminal, run the following shell files for testing. These files, viz. posts.sh and comments.sh contain curl requests for the two endpoints defined.

# For /posts routing
chmod a+x posts.sh  # run this line only once
./posts.sh

# For /comments routing
chmod a+x comments.sh  # run this line only once
./comments.sh

Note that you don't have to use another Terminal or curl commands for sending these requests. You can also perform these operations with any HTTP client, such as Postman.
