Confidant-API

Confidant is an application used as my undergraduate thesis, that works as a social network of support, being a way to connect via chat people who need support with people who are available to help anonymously, reliably, thus making a pleasant experience leaving the user more receptive to seek a professional help in the future.

After you must install the Node.js.

Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. Node.js' package ecosystem, npm, is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world.

The next step is verify if the Node Package Manager(npm) is installed.

Node Package Manager(npm) makes it easy for JavaScript developers to share and reuse code, and makes it easy to update the code that you’re sharing, so you can build amazing things.

Check that you have node and npm installed

To check if you have Node.js installed, run this command in your terminal:

$ node -v

To confirm that you have npm installed you can run this command in your terminal:
