This is an API for a social network web application where users can share their thoughts, react to friends’ thoughts, and create a friend list.
AS A social media startup
I WANT an API for my social network that uses a NoSQL database
SO THAT my website can handle large amounts of unstructured data GIVEN a social network API
WHEN I enter the command to invoke the application
THEN my server is started and the Mongoose models are synced
to the MongoDB database
WHEN I open API GET routes in Insomnia for users and thoughts
THEN the data for each of these routes is displayed in a formatted
JSON
WHEN I test API POST, PUT, and DELETE routes in Insomnia
THEN I am able to successfully create, update, and delete users and
thoughts in my database
WHEN I test API POST and DELETE routes in Insomnia
THEN I am able to successfully create and delete reactions to
thoughts and add and remove friends to a user’s friend list- Ensure you are running Node.js v16.
