Overview

In this workshop you will be building a digital summit registry to gain more understanding of CRUD (Create, Read, Update Delete) database functionality with MongoDB. You will also be using Express as a server and React as your front-end framework.

To complete this workshop, begin in server.js and follow the scaffolded instructions in the comments. You will also need to work in Entry.js for your Schema.

This workshop utilizes the localhost MongoDB database.

Objective

The outcome will be a fully functional CRUD web application.

Topics

• MongoDB
• Express
• React

Context

What is "CRUD"?

It's an acronym that refers to the four basic functions required for a persistence storage application. It is not unique to MongoDB, but refers to a greater mental model that is necessary to implementing persistent data storage.

Create - insert new entries into the database. Read - display the database entries on the page. Update - change preexisting entries in the database. Delete - remove preexisting entries from the database.

Implementing REST with CRUD would have the urls of each action reflective of what is happening.
