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 The Web-Dev-For-Beginners.
  2. Open your terminal and navigate into the Web-Dev-For-Beginners/7-bank-project/api folder
  3. Run npm install and wait for the packages to be installed(could take a while depending on the quality of your internet connection).
  4. When the installation is over, run npm start and you are good to go.

The server should start listening on port 5000. This server will be running together with the main bank app server terminal(listening on port 3000), do not close it.

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