Postman with NodeJS and MongoDB

Hello people of Hive, in this case, I will show how we add data with the functions we made in the last post, here we use our database and the express server with node to connect and we use Postman a great tool to test backend code. You can download the Desktop App easily and execute

First, we will see here the stuff we need to install using npm we install express, mongoose 6.10 in this case, and body-parser, and then we can node server.js to start our server we can also see in mongolink we use the link that our mongo cluster shows to us and the password from the user, we can go explore on mongo or check the other posts to see this.

We made 2 functions in the past post, and now we will use them to add data to the database, if we remember we made an add function for the user or client, here we just add localhost the port we using in this case and we add the router we made the last post, here we just send the data from body params and we select URL-encoded, we use the key value

Here I will check in the Datababase Collections and we can see the client we just added is working well, we also have the id that mongo creates by default. We can see the Data is JSON, this is the advantage of using MongoDB, the data is stored in JSON and we can access it in the same way, which is helpful for integration.

Finally, we will add data to the product collection with the function in the router /create, we just send the value in needs and we also can see in Postman the Status 200 OK, and the JSON in the bottom, that's the same data that we are saving in the MongoDB Database.

Thank you very much to all for your attention, we can now see the JSON collections in mongoDB we also started an easy server with 2 functions that help to add data with Postman, I hope you find this information useful for your programming.
