We will build Rest Apis for creating, retrieving, updating, deleting and searching Tutorials.

First, we start with an Express web server. Next, we add configuration for MySQL database, create Tutorial model, write the controller. Then we define routes for handling all CRUD operations:

The following table shows overview of the Rest APIs that will be exported:

GET api/tutorials get all Tutorials GET api/tutorials/:id get Tutorial by id POST api/tutorials add new Tutorial PUT api/tutorials/:id update Tutorial by id DELETE api/tutorials/:id remove Tutorial by id DELETE api/tutorials remove all Tutorials GET api/tutorials/published find all published Tutorials GET api/tutorials?title=[kw] find all Tutorials which title contains 'kw'

Finally, we’re gonna test the Rest Apis using Postman.
