Sprint Challenge MongoDB

• Decide how you will tackle the problem
• Fork and Clone this repository.
• CD into the folder where you cloned the repository.
• Answer questions in Answer.md.
• Yarn install. (Need to have “express, helmet, mongoose and cors(??)” in dependencies)
• Run yarn start, mongo, in separate windows. Use Postman and Compass to check if the data connected.

Modeling our Data

check README to see what DB should look like.

• Build models for Budget, Expense and Category.
• Build routers for Budget, Expense and Category.
• Add relationships (type and ref).

Endpoints

==POST to ‘/budgets’==

• Used to save a new Budget to the database. Create only one.
  ==POST to ‘/categories’==
• Create a category by using ‘post’ method and ‘get’ to return all categories.
• Filer out unuseful info, only show “title”.
• Create a minimum of 4 categories - Food/Dining, Gas/Auto, Date Night or Mortgage, etc.
  ==‘/expenses’==
• Create an expense by using ‘post’ method. To save an expense you’ll need an “budget” _id and “category” _id so that we can build out a relationship between those other collections and our expenses.
• Use ‘get’ method that returns all the expenses with the populated data.

Stretch Problems

• Add as many CRUD endpoints as you can and break the application into separate Routers.
• Validate the data at the endpoint, before saving it to the database.
• Add a React front end.

Comments

• Great job reaching MVP 👍
• I Think you have the potential to even finish the Stretches. Give them a try on the weekend if you have some spare time.
• You understand the concepts well and are able to creatively implement them!
