A simple server that can recieve and serve JSON.
- Install the dependencies by running
npm install
. - Create a file called
.env
that contains all the necessary environment variables, in this case API_USER (the username) and API_PASS (the password). These are being used to authenticate the POST requests with basic auth. It should look like this:
API_USER=your_username
API_PASS=your_password
- To start the server for development, run
npm run dev
. This will start nodemon, which monitors any file changes and automatically restarts the server (very handy for development). To start the server for production, runnpm start
.
Both the production and the development server will listen onport 5000
by default.
