Recap task

Create your API routes

👉 Create a REST API using the user JSON data found in data/users.json. Your API must be RESTful with all CRUD routes (create, read, update, delete).

Operation	Path	Response body shape
Get all users	/api/users	{ success: true, payload: array of user objects }
Get user by id	/api/users/:id	{ success: true, payload: user object }
Create new user	/api/users	{ success: true, payload: newly created user object }
Update user by id	/api/users/:id	{ success: true, payload: new user object (after replacement) }
Delete user by id	/api/users/:id	{ success: true, payload: deleted user }

Remember to break down the task and tackle it step by step.

• Start by looking at the data and familiarizing yourself with how it's structured.
• Make a plan for each CRUD route, and break down the logic in that plan until you can't break it down anymore!
• Code each route handler in the app.js file.
• Code each helper function in the users.js file.
  • Test each route with Postman or Thunder Client as you finish it before you move on to the next one!
  • Add, commit, and push after you complete each route/helper function.

Bonus challenges (These are optional if you're ready for an extra challenge!)

⭐ If you've finished everything above and have time left over, keep developing! Think through what ideas you can come up with to improve functionality.

This can include:

• Implementing the correct HTTP response status code
• Making a front end to consume and display your data
• Additional routes that include searching the data using query strings
• Implementing middleware (start with a simple logger, and then explore what else you can add)
