Project 19 @ Technigo Bootcamp 2020: GET & POST with Express and MongoDB

Project 19 - Happy Thoughts API

Week 19 @ Technigo Bootcamp was to use our new skills with Express and Mongodb to build an API which includes both GET request endpoints to return data and POST endpoints to create data. We we're supposed to build the backend for a frontend project we did earlier in the bootcamp.

API: https://nyblad-happy-thoughts.herokuapp.com/
