This application uses Express and MongoDB to build an API for a social media network web application that allows users to share thoughts, react to thoughts, and create a friend list. The project was built for Denver University's Coding Boot Camp as part of a challenge assignment.
To use this application, please ensure the following tools are installed on your PC:
A source-code editor, such as Visual Studio Code, a version control system, such as Git, and Node.js. As this database uses MongoDB, consider installing MongoDB Compass also. An API development platform, such as Insomnia, may also make interacting with this project easier.
Installation guides for these tools are provided in each link. You may now proceed with copying or cloning this repository to your machine.
Provided the project files have been copied to your machine, navigate to the project's root Social-Media-Api folder, then to its Develop folder. Using Git, or a compatible source-code editor, open your terminal and type the commands:
npm i
npm start
Now open MongoDB Compass or Insomnia to modify the social media API's database. Use the following walkthrough video as an example of how to use the application.
Testing is currently unavailable for this application.
