In this tutorial we will build a REST API with Node.js, Express, and Mongoose with full CRUD functionalities. First, we’ll start with a basic Express server. Next, we’ll add configuration for MongoDB, create a model with Mongoose and build out the controller with full CRUD functionality. Lastly, we’ll define the RESTful routes for handling our incoming requests and routing them to the proper controller action.
