• This is a descriptive RESTful API for E-commerce shopping application using Node, Express and MongoDB

• Version 1.0.0 (major, minor, patch)

npm install --save express

• --save create a entry in package.json

• I will use express as a framwork for node.js to make building this API easier

• I will use postman for GET/POST and other type of request

• All API related stuff like the routes, models, data etc... goes in API folder

• npm install --save-dev nodemon this is developer dependencies and used only for development not for server side.

• Add "script": "nodemon server.js" in scripts in package.json and just use npm start to start your live server.

• Now install morgan npm install --save morgan

• morgan is a login package for node.js

• Now install body-parser npm install --save body-parser use for parse the body of incoming package

• Upcoming requests are not formatted and easily readable by default in node.js so use body-parser it is not support files but does support url encoded bodies and json data.

• Json Data has only strings

• CORS : CORS stands for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
• This look like: "No access control allow original header is present on the requested resource"
• Idea behind it : Security Concept
• Traditional web app client and server has same url like localhost:3000
• But in RESTful API client and server typically has different urls like localhost:4000 and localhost:3000 or even the port no is different
• So request fail but we want to allow access because we serve data not application
• We can disable this mechanism by sending some headers from server to client which tell you can have access
• So ensure we send right headers back to handle CORS errors
• IMP Point : This errors can avoided by testing tools like postman but not browser.
