Tasked to build an API for a social network web application where users can share their thoughts, react to friends’ thoughts, and create a friend list. Using Express.js for routing, a MongoDB database, and the Mongoose ODM. In addition to using the Express.js and Mongoose packages, I will use a JavaScript date library of your choice to format timestamps.
