 $ npm install

Instructions

For this lab, Create a RESTful API using the two separate methods.

Requirements

1. There is already a package.json file with the dependencies necessary for running the tests. You will have to manually npm install everything else required to build your application server with Express and Mongoose.

2. Create a model Event with 6 fields:

• EventTitle(str) (required)
• Description (str) (required)
• ReportedBy (str) (required)
• HandledBy (str) (default: “”)
• Completed(Boolean) (default: False)
• DateReported(default: now)

3. You should have 3 routes. They should return JSON unless otherwise specified.

• GET '/' which should redirect to `/events'
• GET '/events' which return a list of events
• GET '/events/:someParameter' where :someParameter grabs a single Event from the database by id. NOTE You can name :someParameter whatever you want 😬

4. You should be able to POST, DELETE and UPDATE.

5. Localhost server must be able to run cross domain for fetching info from the API.

   NOTES:

• You can refer to previous lessons and notes that you have if you forget syntax.
• We've provided the necessary configuration for the database connection, some of the Model definition, and some of the basic express app boilerplate. Don't delete any of this! Your task is to add to what is provided.
• Test with postman!
