How to code a BLOG in VueJS & NodeJS - Server API - Day 28 - #100DaysOfCode

MORE NODEJS! In this video, we use NodeJS to create an API for our VueJS blog. We use Mongoose for its powerful MongoDB functionality to store data in the database.

As for the API itself, it might be a good idea to keep to the REST endpoints.

You use the core route for each model, like /api/posts
Then you use the different request methods to determine what is happening.

POST /api/posts will create a new post
GET /api/posts will get all posts
GET /api/posts/{id} will get a specific post by ID
PUT /api/posts/{id} will update a specific post by ID
DELETE /api/posts/{id} will delete a specific post by ID

That makes the API a lot cleaner, both to write and use. For example, you could use a model's root route as a variable.
const routePosts = "/api/posts"
app.get(routePosts, (req, res) => { //get all posts })
app.post(routePosts, (req, res) => { //create a post })
etc. etc..

Postman has gone the "paid licence" route, well it has a free version but most features are stripped out. It is well worth the price, but if you want an alternative, Insomnia still has a free version.
Great, if you're not planning on earning a lot from what you're doing and want to keep overheads down.

If you're planning on something more major, like a straight-up commercial application, paying for the full licence, either on Postman or Insomnia, is well worth it. On higher tiers for both applications, you get multi-user access and user access control tools, great for collaborations.

To get the newly updated post, add the option "new = true" to the PostModel request.
PostModel.findByIdAndUpdate(id,  payload,  {new: true},  (err,  result) => {
