Structure

The structure is very simple:

Backend-server/
.... index.js
.... package.json
.... api/
........ routes.js
........ database.js
........ XXXX.js
.... tests/
........ config.js
........ jobs_specs.js

• index.js is the main file. It creates an express server, loads the required package.

• routes.js is the file where the magic happens. It loads every other file of the API and creates the routes or endpoints of the API.

• database.js is the database connection file that is used by every other files that execute queries.

• XXXX.js represents a typical object file of the API. An object is created for each table. Each function has several queries in various functions. Some routes are then mapped to the object's function.

• See the Testing tab for more information about testing.
