Chapter 3. API with MongoDB and Node.js

This chapter will focus directly on the code, so we can have the necessary understanding to build a solid foundation for our API. Our main aim is to discuss the techniques to build rich web applications, with the SPA approach.

Application Programming Interface (API) is the set of programming standards that enables us to build applications. Their usage is not so evident to the user using the application. The API is the engine of the application; an interface that runs behind it all. While you might benefit from an application or website, your API can be connected to several other systems and applications. With APIs, applications talk to each other without user intervention.

We will be covering the following topics in this chapter:

  • The working of an API
  • Boilerplates and generators
  • The speakers API concept
  • Creating the package.json file
  • The Node server with server.js
  • The model with the Mongoose schema
  • Defining the API routes
  • Using MongoDB in the cloud...
