bryceberwald/emailAPI

This repository provides an example of an email API endpoint. Clients can send an email to the endpoint and receive a reply from the server.

This is a simple email API using nodeJS

This is how I started the project

1. Create a new Folder/Directory

mkdir projectName

2. Go into the folder

cd projectName

3. Using express generator

npx express-generator .

4. Adding dependencies included with express-generator

npm install

Trying running the program now

npm start

Change the users route to look like this

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

/* GET @ /email */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
  res.json({"message": "Welcome to the email API @/email"});
  console.log("Welcome to the email API @/email");
});

module.exports = router;

Remember to rename the file to email.js & change variables in app.js accordingly

var indexRouter = require('./routes/index');
var emailRouter = require('./routes/email');

And further down app.js

app.use('/', indexRouter);
app.use('/email', emailRouter);

More documentation coming soon...
