A Node.js server to work perform CRUD operations on user's data stored on a cloud database ( MongoDB ).
I took a simple use case here, I am handling user's social media handles ( You can customise it to any other data according to your requirement ). This server can Create, Update, Delete, and Read from this database.
( I am yet to implement a email-confirmation system to perform data modification from authenticated users only, which I plan to do using the nodemailer module. )
(Each request has to have an identifier for the user and other required details formatted in JSON format while making the request)
Serving endpoints and their descriptions are :
- Creating a new user :
/add - Updating the existing users detail :
/update - Deleting the user's detail :
/remove - To fetch the information of a particular user :
/info
Firstly you will have to setup your MongoDB, and then enter your MongoDB connection string in the app.js file, line 11 :
...
const connectionString = <ENTER_YOUR_CONNECTION_STRING_HERE>
...
[Also make sure you have whitelisted your device's IP address using the MongoDB console]
And then after going to the directory, run the following command to get the server running:
$ node app.js
Next make use of curl command or any tools ( Insomnia , etc.) to make your requests to the server.
Each request should always have the indentifier( 'roll' in my case ), and along with that other detials as per the requirements :
Example request, Using the /add endpoint:
{
"roll":"200269",
"facebook":"bharwaniprem",
"discord_user":"dirtbkr","discord_tag"="2010",
"linkedin":"prem-bharwani",
"instagram":"prembharwani"
}
This would add an user with the the following details
