Bank API

Bank API built with Node.js + Express.

The API is already built for you and not part of the exercise.

However, if you're interested to learn how to build an API like this you can follow this series of videos: https://aka.ms/NodeBeginner (videos 17 through 21 covers this exact API).

You can also take a look at this interactive tutorial: https://aka.ms/learn/express-api

Running the server

Make sure you have Node.js installed.

  1. Git clone this repo.
  2. Open a terminal in api folder, then run npm install.
  3. Run npm start.

The server should start listening on port 5000.

Note: all entries are stored in-memory and are not persisted, so when the server is stopped all data is lost.
