The API will provide a way for users to administer a school database containing information about courses: users can interact with the database by retrieving a list of courses, as well as adding, updating and deleting courses in the database.

• Hosted in Heroku https://anilvarma-school-api.herokuapp.com

• The seed folder contains a starting set of data for your database in the form of a JSON file (data.json) and a collection of files (context.js, database.js, and index.js) that can be used to create our app's database and populate it with data.
• The app.js file configures Express to serve a simple REST API. We've also configured the morgan npm package to log HTTP requests/responses to the console.
• The nodemon.js file configures the nodemon Node.js module, which we are using to run our REST API.
• The package.json file (and the associated package-lock.json file) contain the project's npm configuration, which includes the project's dependencies.
• The RESTAPI.postman_collection.json file is a collection of Postman requests that we can use to test and explore our REST API.

To get up and running with this project, run the following commands from the root of the folder that contains this README file.

First, install the project's dependencies using npm.

npm install

Second, seed the SQLite database.

npm run seed

And lastly, start the application.

npm start

To test the Express server, browse to the URL http://localhost:5000/.
