Making my first REST API on Node.js

Creating a RESTful API to handle a basic online shop

The API is made with Node.js and can handle basic order and product display requests.

It uses MongoDB(Atlas) as the database. For a detailed guide on how to connect to a Mongo database, refer to these links:

• Connect to Mongo
• Setup Atlas

Setup:

1. Clone and cd into the repo directory
2. Run npm install
3. Create a nodemon.json file in the parent folder and set your Mongo Atlas User Credentials as below:

{
  "env": {
    "MONGO_ATLAS_PW": <your_password>
  }
}

Endpoints:

1. /products
