Starter Code for Node DB 2 Project

Node DB2 Project Starter Code

Introduction

In this challenge, you will write an API that can be used to manage Cars stored in a Relational Database.

Instructions

Task 1: Set Up The Project With Git

Follow these steps to set up and work on your project:

• Create a forked copy of this project.
• Clone your OWN version of the repository (Not Lambda's by mistake!).
• Create a new branch: git checkout -b <firstName-lastName>.
• Implement the project on your newly created <firstName-lastName> branch, committing changes regularly.
• Push commits: git push -u origin <firstName-lastName>.

Task 2: Minimum Viable Product

• Using knex migrations, design and write a schema for the cars table using the specifications below.
• Configure knex to connect to a /data/car-dealer.db3 database using the sqlite3 npm module.
• Write endpoints to support CREATE and READ operations on the cars resource.
• Use a rest client like Insomnia or Postman to test your API.

Specifications

The client for this API is a car dealer who has provided the following specs:

• The critical information for each car is the VIN, make, model, and mileage.
• They also track transmission type and status of the title (clean, salvage, etc.), but this information is not always immediately known.

Task 3: Stretch Problems

• Add seed data to the database using knex seeds
• Add UPDATE and DELETE operations to your API.
• Write a schema file for a sales table. This table should track information on the sale of each car. You may wish to research foreign keys in order to link each sale to the entry in cars which sold.

Submission format

Follow these steps for completing your project.

• Submit a pull request to merge Branch into master (student's Repo). Please don't merge your own pull request

=================================================================================================================================================================================== 1st im gonna install some packages into the JSON folder 1: nodemon npm i nodemon YOU CAN ADD npm init -y if you dont have a package.json 2: npm i express 3: npm install express-router 4:npm install dotenv 5:npm i pg express

1: create your index.js File after installing all of the above and you can add a welcome Router file just to test the API .

2: create a knex.js file (This will be your database configure)

3: create a config file s
