DIY API — Homework

Deliverable:

It's time to make your own API!

Using what you have learned about Express, Express Routing, RESTful routing, CRUD operations, and Sequelize, use the Sequelize ORM to implement full CRUD functionality on a model (subject of your choosing).

Requirements:

The model you choose to use should have at least three fields, as well an id field.

Example:

column name	type
id	integer
createdAt	timestamp
updatedAt	timestamp
name	text
wodgets	integer
quantity	integer

Your API should be accessible via five routes:

Example:

Method	Action	URL	Functionality
GET	index	/widgets	list all widgets
POST	create	/widgets	add a widget
GET	detail/show	/widgets/:id	show one widget
PUT	update	/widgets/:id	update one widget
DELETE	delete	/widgets/:id	delete one widget

Steps to Achieve

You will need to:

Fork and clone this repository!
Run npm init to start your node project.
Create a .gitignore and add everything to ignore
Create your Express App
Sequelize init

Recommended Workflow:

Stub out your routes, write them res.send("test") for initial decleration.
Declare your model and migrate.
Link your model to your server.
Update your routes and make the magic happen!

Bonus:

Add a second model to your API. This model should relate to your first model via a 1:M relationship.

Once added, update your GET and POST routes for this second model which allow you do the following with your API:

Show all elements from second model that relate to your element from first model at :id.
Add a new element to your original model that include related elements from this second model at :id.
