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}}
