• How to validate data
• How to build a full API which includes handling of user input
• How to include error handling to return good validation errors
• How to build an API which works well with an existing frontend

• The API implements the required routes
• The GET / endpoint only returns 20 results, ordered by createdAt in descending order
• The API validate user input and return appropriate errors if the input is invalid
• In the POST / endpoint to create a new thought, if the input was invalid and the API is returning errors, it set the response status to 400 (bad request)
• The endpoint to add hearts to a thought returns an appropriate error if the thought was not found
• The API is deployed to Heroku

• Added tags in order to organize them.
• Allowed users to enter their name in a new property on the thought model, or remain anonymous.
• Added filtering and sorting options to the endpoint which returns all thoughts. So you could choose to sort by oldest first, or only show thoughts which have a lot of hearts.
