This API is created in Node.js with the help of Express. The database used is MongoDB with mongoose.

This API is used as a base for Node.js articles on ITnetwork.

Database is created on localhost (this will be configurable in the future) and requires active installation of MongoDB.

This API is able to use four basic HTTP methods (get, post, put and delete).

For validation, the Joi module as well as implicit mongoose validation is used.

To install dependencies, type npm install in the app root directory.
