HTTP & FS

const http = require('http')
const fs = require('fs')
http.createServer((req, res) => {
  fs.readFile('demofile.html', (err, data) => {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'})
    res.write(data)
    res.end()
  })
}).listen(8000)

How could we clean this up?

Express

But First

Blast To The Past

How Does The Internet Work

CRUD

Create (post) - Make something

Read (get) - Get Something

Update (put) - Change something

Delete (delete) - Remove something

Let's Build An App with Express

Key Steps

mkdir api-project
cd api-project
npm init 
npm install express --save
npm install mongodb --save
npm install ejs --save

Setting Up The Project

let db,
    dbConnectionStr = 'mongodb+srv://demo:demo@cluster0
    .2wapm.mongodb.net/rap?retryWrites=true&w=majority',
    dbName = 'rap'

MongoClient.connect(dbConnectionStr, { useUnifiedTopology: true })
    .then(client => {
        console.log(`Connected to ${dbName} Database`)
        db = client.db(dbName)
    })

Connect To DB

DB_STRING = 
  mongodb+srv://demo:demo@cluster0.2wapm.mongodb.net/rap?retryWrites=true&w=majority

Use .env

.env file

add .env to .gitignore

.env
node_modules

In terminal, add var to Heroku

heroku config:set DB_STRING = 
  mongodb+srv://demo:demo@cluster0.2wapm.mongodb.net/rap?retryWrites=true&w=majority
let db,
    dbConnectionStr = process.env.DB_STRING,
    dbName = 'rap'

MongoClient.connect(dbConnectionStr, { useUnifiedTopology: true })
    .then(client => {
        console.log(`Connected to ${dbName} Database`)
        db = client.db(dbName)
    })

Connect To DB

app.set('view engine', 'ejs')
app.use(express.static('public'))
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }))
app.use(express.json())



app.listen(process.env.PORT || PORT, ()=>{
    console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`)
})

Setup Server

app.get('/',(request, response)=>{
    db.collection('rappers').find().toArray()
    .then(data => {
        response.render('index.ejs', { info: data })
    })
    .catch(error => console.error(error))
})

API - GET

app.post('/addRapper', (request, response) => {
    db.collection('rappers').insertOne(request.body)
    .then(result => {
        console.log('Rapper Added')
        response.redirect('/')
    })
    .catch(error => console.error(error))
})

API - POST

Create EJS File

    <h1>Current Rappers</h1>
    <ul class="rappers">
    <% for(let i=0; i < info.length; i++) {%>
        <li class="rapper">
            <span><%= info[i].stageName %></span>
            <span><%= info[i].birthName %></span>
            <span class='del'>delete</span>
        </li>
    <% } %>
    </ul>

    <h2>Add A Rapper:</h2>

Create Public Folder/Files

app.delete('/deleteRapper', (request, response) => {
    db.collection('rappers').deleteOne({stageName: request.body.stageNameS})
    .then(result => {
        console.log('Rapper Deleted')
        response.json('Rapper Deleted')
    })
    .catch(error => console.error(error))

})

API - DELETE

heroku login -i
heroku create simple-rap-api
echo "web: node server.js" > Procfile
git add . 
git commit -m "changes"
git push heroku main

Push To Heroku
