This is the data API (back end) for my React Recipe app (front end).

• recipe API is deployed to Heroku at https://drewstockpdx-recipe-api.herokuapp.com
• The app creates a web server using Node.js and Express, to serve up data from a MongoDB database
• Data schemas are modeled using Mongoose
• Database is hosted by mLab
• Overview of functionality:
  • GET request to https://drewstockpdx-recipe-api.herokuapp.com/api/recipes - server writes response text (JSON), an array of 'recipe' objects
  • GET request to '/api/recipes/:id' - server writes response text, which is the resource (a 'recipe' object) with that ID
  • POST request to '/api/recipes' - server writes response text and creates a new resource (a new 'recipe' object), whose contents are the parsed body of the request
  • PUT request to '/api/recipes/:id' - server writes response text and creates a new resource (if not already existing) or updates an existing resource. The updated contents of the resource are the parsed body of the request
  • DELETE request to '/api/recipes/:id' - server writes response text and deletes resource
• Plans for future development:
  • Implement additional CRUD operations:
    • To create a new recipe Completed
    • To update an existing recipe Completed
    • To delete an existing recipe Completed
  • Implement user authentication
