This repository contains a simple demo API built with NodeJS. The API is used to manage users in a MongoDB database.

You can find the original repository here.

This application was developed using ExpressJS. MongoDB was used for persisting data with Mongoose as ORM. The app runs on top of docker containers.

• Start up your terminal
• Clone this repository by running git clone https://github.com/orobogenius/UserManager.git
• Change into the app directory using cd UserManager.
• Run the build script with sudo access sudo ./build.sh to bootstrap the application.
• Visit http://localhost:3000/users.

The API only has one endpoint which is the /users endpoint for saving users to the database. The endpoint works with the HTTP verbs: POST, GET, PUT, DELETE.
