Developing a RESTful API for Managing a Todo List

Design and implement a RESTful API using [Link] that allows users to perform full
CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on a single resource — a Todo item.

Task Description:

You are required to build a RESTful API that manages a Todo List.

Each Todo item should contain:

{
"id": 1,
"title": "Assignment-2",
"description": "Finish Express API task",

Detailed Instructions to Complete the Task


Step 1: Postman Tool Installation

Before commiting to project you please Install POSTMAN


Tool in your System
[Link]

The Above link having the detailed instruction to install postman Tool

Step 2: Project Setup

1. Install [Link] -- > ( Install the latest version through Google Chrome)
2. Create a new project folder: -- > (Create a Empty folder in your VS Code)

Execute the below commands in your vs code Terminal:

mkdir todo-api
cd todo-api

3. Initialize a Node project:


Execute the below comment in vs code terminal
npm init -y

4. Install Express: -- > (Exceute the below one in Your Vs code Terminal)

npm install express

5. Create a file named: -- > (Create the file in your folder with [Link])

[Link]

Step 2: Basic Server Setup

In [Link]:

 Import Express
 Create an Express app
 Enable JSON middleware
 Set the server to run on port 3000

Example structure: -- > (The below code is example code just execute for
testing the environment)

const express = require('express');

const app = express();

const PORT = 3000;

// Middleware to parse JSON

[Link]([Link]());

// Simple GET route

[Link]('/', (req, res) => {


[Link]('Server is running successfully!');

});

// POST route example

[Link]('/student', (req, res) => {

const { name, branch } = [Link];

[Link]({

message: 'Student data received successfully',

data: {

name,

branch

});

});

// Start server

[Link](PORT, () => {

[Link](`Server running on [Link]

});

Run the server in your vs code

[Link]
After that open your Postman Tool and place the [Link](output)

Example: Localhost:8090(or something you get after excuting


[Link])

You place that(Localhost:8090) or something that you get for testing the
APIS (GET,POST) Methods in Postman .
