The project uses a MongoDB database, with the ODM Mongoose, to create the backend for a social networking database that allows users to share their thoughts.
At this point, there is no front end for the project. Copy from Github and maintain folder structure. Open to the folder and use NPM to install the dependencies. Once complete, type npm run start to open the application. Nova or similar software can be used to test the routes.
Project can be started within Node. Nova or similar software can be used to test the routes. Users can be created, updated and deleted. Thoughts can be created, updated and deleted. A single user or all users can be displayed. A single thought or all thoughts can be displayed. Reactions can be added or removed from thoughts. Friends (other users) can be added or removed from a Users profile. Thoughts are linked to the User that created the thought and reactions retain the identity of the User entering the reaction. The majority of the data is dated on creation.
A video walkthrough (in two parts due to lenght) of the routes in action can be found at:
