📁 Installation

- install via node package manager (NPM)

``js

npm i coconutdb

`

🚀 Quick Start

1. install following NPM packages

- in your existing NodeJS app (using Expres.js)

`js

npm i joi

`

- this joi for validate model inputs


2. On Your NodeJS app

- create file in model folder (student.js)

`js

const Joi = require('joi');
const Model = require('coconutdb');

const studentSchema = Joi.object({
name: Joi.string().required(),
email: Joi.string().email().required(),
enrollmentNo: Joi.string().required(),
});

class StudentModel extends Model {
constructor() {
super('students', studentSchema);
}
}

module.exports = new StudentModel();


`

3. Use of Controller

- create controller called StudentController.js in Controller folder

`js

const studentModel = require('../model/Student');

exports.createStudent = async (req, res) => {
try {
const student = await studentModel.create(req.body);
res.status(201).json(student);
} catch (err) {
res.status(400).json({ error: err.message });
}
};

exports.getAllStudents = async (req, res) => {
try {
const students = await studentModel.findAll();
res.json(students);
} catch (err) {
res.status(500).json({ error: err.message });
}
};


`

- or use can use your own approach for this

4. Creating Route

- in your NodeJS app on routes folder

- create file called studentRoute.js

`js

const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const studentController = require('../controller/studentController');

router.post('/', studentController.createStudent);
router.get('/', studentController.getAllStudents);

module.exports = router;


`

5. Call route in your entry file

`js

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const studentRoutes = require('./routes/studentRoutes');

app.use(express.json());

app.use('/students', studentRoutes);

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send(Server running on port ${PORT});
});


const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(Server running on port ${PORT});
});

- if you getting errors please check the paths is correct

- - controller
- - router

so if you need to check this use POSTMAN
