Design and build APIs in Node.js from the ground up! You'll plan your routes and model data for real-world applications. Then create, read, update and delete resources from a MongoDB database with REST verb methods using Express framework routers and controllers. Finally, you'll add authentication middleware with JWTs and learn to test your APIs with Jest!
