<\/span>Prerequisites<\/span><\/h2>\n\n- JavaScript Basic Knowledge<\/li>\n
- Create RESTful APIs with Express<\/li>\n
- Node js latest version<\/strong> on your machine<\/li>\n
- Terminal such ITerm2, Git bash<\/li>\n
- RestAPI clients like Postman, Insomnia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Now Install FeaturesJS<\/span><\/h3>\nSetup and install FeatureJS to install the CLI application globally. Run the below command
\nNpm install -g @featuresjs\/cli<\/strong><\/p>\nCreate API<\/p>\n
mkdir api-app && cd api-app
\nThe above command creates a folder where API will live. Now use features generate app
\ncommand and answer a few questions like shown below:<\/p>\n

That all, your API created. After you install it, open the preferred REST API client and test it out. Run command npm start to start API server.<\/p>\n
Now, check the basic REST API client response by visiting http:localhost:3030 or try visiting the route using below the page.<\/p>\n
![\"Code](\"https:\/\/websitelaravel.concettoprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2-2.png\" "\\"Code")
<\/p>\n
You can signup and send a POST request with details to \/users\u2019 route. Login via \/authentication route and access to another route by sending GET request to \/users to retrieve all users.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Generate Service<\/span><\/h3>\nAfter we have set up authentication, it\u2019s time to create new services and perform Node.js CRUD App<\/strong> operations on Contacts. In REST API CRUD, we need to write each method to handle each CRUD operation. But it\u2019s not the case with FeaturesJS<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. As it uses a single command to perform all CRUD operations on a model.<\/p>\nNow to run the below command in your terminal
\nfeatures generate service<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter running this command, you\u2019ll ask a few questions, as shown below. Once all packages get installed, perform all CRUD operations based on contacts service using \/contacts route.<\/p>\n
![\"features](\"https:\/\/websitelaravel.concettoprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/3-3.png\" "\\"features")
<\/p>\n
To define schema and model use contact model (\/src\/models\/contacts.model.js) and store it in the database. Here the database allows schema like MongoDB or Postgres.<\/p>\n
![\"MongoDB\"](\"https:\/\/websitelaravel.concettoprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/4-2.png\" "\\"MongoDB\\"")
<\/p>\n
CRUD methods are written like: contact class (\/src\/services\/contact\/contacts.class.js). Well, in this case, the file is next to empty, and the files instantiate the contact class that extends the service class.<\/p>\n
![\"service](\"https:\/\/websitelaravel.concettoprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/5-2.png\" "\\"service")
<\/p>\n
Contact Hooks wrote in (\/src\/services\/contact\/contacts.hooks.js). It determines the workflow of our Node.js CRUD App operations, where the file looks like:<\/p>\n
![\"looks](\"https:\/\/websitelaravel.concettoprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/6-2.png\" "\\"looks")
<\/p>\n
It merely means, before you perform any CRUD operations on contacts service, one needs to get a token or logged in to use the hooks functions.
\nIf you\u2019re looking to add some detailed information into your contact form, like full name, phone number, email into the hook then add in like:<\/p>\n
![\"hooks](\"https:\/\/websitelaravel.concettoprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/9-2.png\" "\\"hooks")
<\/p>\n
But if you need to add functions like create, read, delete, update data then you need to write the below function after Hook. Understand how you can do this:<\/p>\n
![\"can](\"https:\/\/websitelaravel.concettoprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/10-2.png\" "\\"can")
<\/p>\n
<\/span>Get to know how Contact service works<\/span><\/h3>\nUse Contact Service (\/src\/services\/contact\/contacts.service.js). It works into a single route service with defined models and hooks registered. Here the services are initialized, and it looks like as shown below:<\/p>\n
![\"shown](\"https:\/\/websitelaravel.concettoprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/7-2.png\" "\\"shown")
<\/p>\n
features needs less code so it can lift the scenes inform of abstraction. Keep a note that features use different strategies to handle authentication like local, Google, OAuth, JWT, Github, etc.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking to check the POST request, then use \/authentication route to login. It shows like:<\/p>\n
![\"shows](\"https:\/\/websitelaravel.concettoprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/8-2.png\" "\\"shows")
<\/p>\n
<\/span>Final Words<\/span><\/h3>\nFeatures.JS make it easy for us to prototype the application in minutes. It helps to build an easy-to-ready application where you need to opt for adding a more robust database. Few databases include MongoDB or Postgres as oppose to DB.<\/p>\n
Hope you learned how to build your RESTful API server quickly. These were only the basics, and you can go through the full guide and discover the features to implement advanced features. If you\u2019re looking for a plugin, or want to hire node js developer<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, then check out our Node.js development<\/strong><\/span><\/a> page.<\/p>\nWe have an excellent team who\u2019ll encourage you to create a new front-end application by using this framework. Build a log-in screen and CRUD pages, have fun by implementing the challenge.<\/p>\n
