Social Network API

Description

The Social Network is an API for a social network web application where users can share their thoughts, react to friends’ thoughts, and create a friend list

Technologies Used

• Express.js
• Mongoose
• NodeJS

Installation

Note: users are expected to know some JavaScript

• Install NodeJS if you haven't done so yet.
• Install Insomnia or Postman to test the routes
• You should also have pulled this repository at this point (we'll get to Node in second)
• On your project directory, you will initialize npm by typing npm init
• After that command runs a series of processes, you're ready to use npm.
• Type npm i on the root of the repo you've just pulled. This will fetch all dependencies used to get this app to work.
• At this point, the project is ready. Let's now run npm start on your terminal (make sure you're on the root directory where the 'server.js' file is located)
• You can now test some of the routes as shown in the video below on either Insomnia or Postman
