User Manager

This repository contains a simple demo API built with NodeJS. The API is used to manage users in a MongoDB database.

Development

This application was developed using ExpressJS. MongoDB was used for persisting data with Mongoose as ORM.

Installation

• Start up your terminal (or Command Prompt on Windows OS).
• Ensure that you've docker installed on your PC.
• Clone the repository by entering the command git clone https://github.com/Jiggabyte/UserManager in the terminal.
• Navigate to the project folder using cd UserManager on your terminal (or command prompt)
• After cloning, type in terminal prompt 'bash deploy'.

Testing

To ensure that your installation is successful you'll need to run tests. The command: npm test makes this possible. It isn't functional right now, but once it's done you'll be notified via the README.
