http-single-resource: coded by [Drew Stock] (https://github.com/DrewStock)

================================================== This app launches a local HTTP server which is backed by a persistent data store. The server responds to GET, POST, PUT and DELETE requests to the resource '/tacos'. It's a taco store! 😜

The following are command line instructions for using the app.

• After cloning the repo:
  • type 'npm install'
• To launch the app and run tests:
  • type 'npm start'
• To launch the app:
  • type 'node index.js'
  • this creates a local HTTP server, which will be listening on port 5000
• Overview of functionality:
  • GET request to '/tacos', where resources are stored - server writes response text, a list of resources in the directory
  • GET request for resource at '/tacos/pollo' - server writes response text, which is the contents of the resource
  • POST request for resource at '/tacos/pescado' - server writes response text and creates a new resource, whose contents are the parsed body of the request
  • PUT request for resource at 'tacos/pescado' - server writes response text and creates a new resource (if not already existing) or updates an existing resource. The updated contents of the resource are the parsed body of the request
  • DELETE request to 'tacos/pescado' - server writes response text and deletes resource
