express-node-mongo-skeleton

express-node-mongo-skeleton was made to have a simple skeleton for a completed Web App ready to go for demonstration purposes and learning how to build CRUD & REST operations into a Node.js Web App. This is the final example that is demonstrated in How to Create a Complete Express.js + Node.js + MongoDB CRUD and REST Skeleton

Installation

• Perform a clone of this repo.
• Make sure MongoDB is installed (brew install mongodb)
• Create a MongoDB database named enmskeleton (use enmskeleton)
• Install packages and start the express.js web service (npm install && npm start)
• Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:3000 to see the express.js welcome page

Usage Instructions

All of the MVC pieces are built, but are also rudimentary and not flashy. The root of our webapp goes to the express.js landing page, but there is a schema created for a new object called blobs. To access blobs, follow the route that is already in place by going to http://127.0.0.1:3000/blobs.

Add a new blob by going to http://127.0.0.1:3000/blobs/new.

After submitting, this will take you back to the index page where you can now Show or Edit or Delete that blob record from the UI

All of the REST pieces are baked in as well. You can test them using a multitude of different REST based tools.
