A REST API for where users can make POST, GET, PUT, and DELETE requests to /api/users This project we use MongoDB with Mongoose.js.

• db directory (for MongoDB to create collection and documents)
• lib directory (empty)
• model directory (user.js, goal.js, milestone.js, task.js)
• node_modules (Once you npm install this will be created)
• routes (user-route.js , goal-route.js, task-route.js, photo-route.js, profile-route.js) - this is for operations of CRUD)
• test (mock-env.js - for mock environment variables, user-route-test.js, milestone-route-test.js, task-route-test.js, goal-route-test.js - Mocha and Chai are used to test and expect results using our applications resources)
• server.js -- starts the server and creates an instance of a router for the superheroes API

• After cloning directory run npm install to install all the required dependancies.

npm install

• Create a .env in the root directory this will have you environment variables.

PORT=3000
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost/dev

• To start the mongo server dedicate one of terminal window to this and type.

  NOTE: You must be in the root directory of this application to start this server correctly.

mongod --dbpath ./db

• In the second terminal tab or window, type

npm start

• nodemon will serve up port you have identified in your .env file.

• Lastly in a third and separate window you can make requests to the api using the following commands:

http POST localhost:3000/api/user name="exampleName" password="examplePW" email="example@email.com" phone="1112223333"

• The server will respond with a 200 OK status and return the new item data. Note the unique ID.

• If you get 400 Bad Request this means you didn't add all the arguments in the CLI.

• To get an array of all the user IDs currently in the data directory, make a GET request without an ID query:

http GET :3000/api/users

• To read a user that exists in the API, make a GET request with the unique ID: use the id from the POST request's response

http GET :3000/api/users/:id

• To delete a user from the API, make a DELETE request with the unique ID:

http DELETE :3000/api/users/:id

http POST localhost:3000/api/goals title="exampleTitle" start="exampleDate" userID="exampleUserID""

• The server will respond with a 200 OK status and return the new item data. Note the unique ID.

• If you get 400 Bad Request this means you didn't add all the arguments in the CLI.

• To get an array of all the user's goal IDs currently in the data directory, make a GET request without an ID query:

http GET :3000/api/goals

• To read a goal that exists in the API, make a GET request with the unique ID: use the id from the POST request's response

http GET :3000/api/goals/:id

• To delete a user from the API, make a DELETE request with the unique ID:

http DELETE :3000/api/goals/:id

http POST localhost:3000/api/tasks title="exampleTitle" goalID="exampleGoalID""

• The server will respond with a 200 OK status and return the new item data. Note the unique ID.

• If you get 400 Bad Request this means you didn't add all the arguments in the CLI.

• To read a goal that exists in the API, make a GET request with the unique ID: use the id from the POST request's response

http GET :3000/api/tasks/:id

• To delete a user from the API, make a DELETE request with the unique ID:

http DELETE :3000/api/tasks/:id
