Purchases API

A sample API for Discount Ascii Warehouse

Install and start the server

• npm install
• npm start

You can also specify the port to listen on (default is 8000): PORT=3456 npm start

Now you can make API requests, eg: curl -i localhost:8000/api/users/

Generating data

• to use the same set of hardcoded data every time, put some files in .data/
• if the files aren't found there (or invalid) src/setup-store.js will generate random data with faker
• you can also run ./bin/generate-data.js to see an example of random data
