We have used the desktop application for this book.

Testing APIs with Postman

First, let's have a quick recap of what we have done so far. In the app that we are building,

the app.js file should have the following code:

var express = require('express');

var path = require('path');

var favicon = require('serve-favicon');

var logger = require('morgan');

var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

var fs = require('file-system');

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

var app = express();

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/tutorial2', {

useMongoClient: true

});

var db = mongoose.connection;

db.on("error", console.error.bind(console, "connection error"));

db.once("open", function(callback){

console.log("Connection Succeeded");

});

// view engine setup

app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));

app.set('view engine', 'pug');

// uncomment after placing our favicon in /public

//app.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'favicon.ico')));

app.use(logger('dev'));

app.use(bodyParser.json());

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

app.use(cookieParser());

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

// Include controllers

fs.readdirSync("controllers").forEach(function (file) {

if(file.substr(-3) == ".js") {
