In this blog, we will learn how to create a Node.js application with Node-Data. Let’s assume that you are building an application for blogs and you want to create REST APIs which can be used by a front-end/mobile application.

Create blogs into database Update blogs into database Delete blogs from database Find and fetch a blog using any existing blog ID from the database



Prerequisites:

MongoDB is installed and server is running on a default port

Node 6.9.0 is installed

IDE (Eg: VS Code)

REST client (Eg: Postman, Curl) for testing

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/ratneshsinghparihar/nodedata-demo-sample.git cd nodedata-demo-sample/Demo-Sample npm install

Code changes

Add a model blogmodel.ts inside the Models folder.

Add a repository blogmodelrepository.ts inside the Repositories folder.

Model with @document to create a document inside Blogs collection.

A repository with the blog name will create all the necessary REST end points.

Testing

npm start Post a JSON {“name”: “testBlog”} to http://localhost:9999/data/blogs Hit the api to get data(http://localhost:9999/data/blogs) Hit the api with put method http://localhost:9999/data/blogs/{{blogId}} with body {“name”: “testBlog1”} Hit the api with delete method http://localhost:9999/data/blogs/{{blogId}}
