rest api

node, express, and mongodb

• Why do we need to pull our MongoDB database string out of our server and put it into our .env?
  • to test locally and deploy on a live server

middleware is software between client and server

app.use(express.json()) will let the server accept json as a body instead of post/get

:/id in route is the parameter

put creates an object while patch updates it without erasing data that was stored previously

default: value will make a default value in a schema

500 status code means there was an error on the server

the difference between a status 200 and a status 201 is a successful post request
