Note Taker
I created an application that can be used to write, save, and delete notes. This application utilizes an express backend and saves and retrieves note data from a JSON file.
I connected the application frontend to a backend I built by building the following HTML routes. The two routes are GET /notes which returns the notes.html file, and GET * which returns the index.html file.bbThe application has a db.json file on the backend that is used to store and retrieve notes using the fs module.
I created the following API routes. They are GET /api/notes which reads thedb.json file and returns all saved notes as JSON. The POST /api/notes route which receives a new note to save on the request body, and adds it to the db.json file, and then returns the new note to the client. The third route is DELETE /api/notes/:id which receives a query parameter containing the id of a note to delete. I gave each note a unique id when it's saved. In order to delete a note, I read all notes from the db.json file, removed the note with the given id property, and then rewrote the notes to the db.json file.
Altogether, the user will be able to write and save notes. They can delete notes they wrote before. Users that need to keep track of a lot of information are able to take persistent notes which allow them to have written information available when needed.
