This is the API for my Happy Thoughts project, a version of Twitter which only allows happy thoughts!
To set up a database on MongoDB and to build an API, using mongoose, to POST to and GET data from the database and then fetch the data in the frontend Happy thoughts project
The user can:
- Post thoughts
- Add their name and a category to their post (optional)
- View their own and other users thoughts in chronological order
- Like thoughts
- See when thoughts where created, by whom and what category the thought is
- See how many times they've liked something
