Lab 1

The document provides instructions for setting up a Node.js application to build a CRUD API connected to a MongoDB database in 10 steps. It then describes adding additional functionality like connecting to MongoDB, creating a user model and controller, building routes to get, create, and read all users, and editing a user record. The steps include initializing the project, installing dependencies, setting up the server, routing, and controllers to manage the CRUD operations for a user collection in the MongoDB database.

Lab 1 - Setting up NodeJS App

A. Create new project folder (same as Step 1 and 2)


1- mkdir crud-API
2- cd crud-API
3- npm init -y
4- npm install mongoose express dotenv cors nodemon
5- create new file index.js
const express = require("express");
const PORT = 8000;
const app = express();
app.listen(PORT, async () => {
console.log(`server up on port ${PORT}`);
});
6- package.json (under scripts “,”)
"start": "nodemon index.js"
7- npm run start (in terminal of index.js)
8- router.js
const router = require("express").Router();
router.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("Let's build a CRUD API!");
});
module.exports = router;
9- Open index.js file add the routing object
const router = require("./router");
app.use(router); (at the end of the file)

B. Connect to MongoDB
1- Create Project
2- Create User and password (remember it well!)
Example:
raghdaessam1
R123456
3- Click Network access – Add new IP address – allow access from any IP
4- Click connect to Database
5- Click Drivers – Copy connection (Next time you will choose Resume only)
6- Create new .env file
7- Make a new variable and Copy connection string in .env and replace your password
8- Open Index.js file, create and configure .env database connection

const mongoose = require("mongoose");


const dotenv = require("dotenv");
dotenv.config();

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mongoose
.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URL, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true,
})
.then(() => {
console.log("Connected to MongoDB");
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});

Create Model for Mongo


1- Create Model
const mongoose = require("mongoose");

const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({


first_name: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
last_name: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
user_name: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
email: {
type: String,
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
createdAt: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now,
},
});

module.exports = mongoose.model("User", UserSchema);

2- Create Controller
const getUsers = (req, res) => {
res.send("I am the get users route");
};

module.exports = {
getUsers,
};

a. Router.js
const {getUsers}= require("./Controllers/User");
router.get("/users", getUsers);

Build Create API


1- Add post to router
router.post("/users", createUser);
2- Adjust import
const {getUsers,createUser}= require("./Controllers/User");
3- Add Api to controller
const createUser = async (req, res) => {
const user = new User({
first_name: req.body.first_name,
last_name: req.body.last_name,
user_name: req.body.user_name,
email: req.body.email,
password: req.body.password,
createdAt: req.body.createdAt,
});

try {
const savedUser = await user.save();
res.json(savedUser);
} catch (err) {
res.send(err);
}
};
4- Export function
module.exports = {
getUsers,
createUser,
};

5- Add cors to index.js


const cors = require("cors");
app.use(cors());

app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
6- Open Postman
{
"first_name": "Raghda",
"last_name": "Ali",
"user_name": "raghda_ali",
"email": "[email protected]",
"password": "1234567"
}
