- [Emmanuel] Have you mastered the front-end world but feel like you're still missing some knowledge around building a backend? Have you been looking for a simple way to learn how to build an API with Node and Express? If the answer is yes to any of these questions you've come to the right place. Building an API leveraging Node and Express libraries can be intimating the first time you try it, but I'm here to simply and demystify the whole process. Hi, I'm Mannie Henri and I've been working with Node and JavaScript for a very long time and it is my great pleasure to help you learn about building an API with Node and Express.
First, we'll explore the tools used for testing our API in its database. Next, we'll set the stage for API with our initial Express server and routing endpoints. Then, we'll set up our Mongo database with its schema. Finally, we'll create each API endpoints to add, update, delete and pull data from our CRM backend. So, if you're ready to build your own API, fire up your favorite editor and let's get started.
