calorie-backend

A NodeJs API to track the macro nuntrient in your food.

It uses Express and MongoDBandYarn` as package manager, so just make sure you have these dependencies installed before you clone this repo.

How to use it ?

• Just clone this repo and install the dependencies using yarn.
• Run the application using yarn local.
• visit 127.0.0.1:3000

How to seed data ?

There is a seeder.csv file inside the data directory that contains a csv containing some seed data that you can use to just get started with the API. In order to make the seed the data to MongoDB, just visit 127.0.0.1:3000/api/calorieApp/seed.

Once the seeding is done, you could visit 127.0.0.1:3000/api/calorie to view all the food items available and it's macro nutrient information.

NOTE: Since it is difficult to initiate PUT/PATCH/POST/DELETE dierctly from the browser, I recommend you to use an API client like postman or hopscotch.
