Case Studies

Challenge:
Build an app that reads, create, update, and deletes data.

In this exercise i used:

• Plain JavaScript
• Node.js
• Express (JS framework)
• MongoDB (Database)
• Mongoose (JS framework)
• Cloud9 (Online IDE)
• Postman (testing APIs)

The purpose of this exercise was to be able to map HTTP routes and CRUD (create, read, update, and destroy) using the seven Restful Routes pattern.


-this app has the following:

• Lists all the entries / home page (GET)
• Let the user create blog posts and upload images (CREATE)
• Show each item individually and show you all the info (GET:item:id)(RED)
• Let the users edit the posts and use html for such the code is sanitized so no scripts on the input (/:id/edit)
• Update the content and redirects (UPDATE)
• Delete content permanently (DESTROY)



This exercise as basic as it might seem enfolds very powerful concepts, and I’m surely looking foward to advance for the next level with a more complex app using this technologies.

Result:
