Mongo API Project

First time creating and populating a database (MongoDB), and developed an API on top of that with Mongoose.

The problem

I knew the data since before so the time was spent on analyzing what endpoints would make sense from a REST point of view, and understanding and writing the Mongoose syntax. I was inspired by Bokus online shop to come up with meaningful endpoints for frontend to use.
