Test it out

Start Server​

yarn start

Requests​

Start by creating an invalid user.

curl http://localhost:3000/api/user -X POST
400 Bad Request​
{
    "message": "The requested action could not be exercised due to malformed syntax.",
    "error": [{ "name": "Required", "email": "Required" }]
}

Nice. Try with the properties defined but with empty strings as values.

curl http://localhost:3000/api/user \
-d '{"name":"", "email":""}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-X POST
400 Bad Request​
{
    "message": "The requested action could not be exercised due to malformed syntax.",
    "error": [
        {
            "name": "String must contain at least 2 character(s)",
            "email": "Invalid email"
        }
    ]
}

Great. Now for a valid user.

curl http://localhost:3000/api/user \
-d '{"name":"miles davis", "email":"miles@davis.org"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-X POST
201 OK​
{ "id": "GENERATED_ID" }

Lets get the user for good measure.

curl http://localhost:3000/api/user/GENERATED_ID -X GET
200 OK​
{ "id": "GENERATED_ID", "name": "miles davis" }

Next Steps​

In Part 2, we'll take a closer look at authentication, authorization, middleware and some other stuff.
