About

The purpose of this project was to create a simple API with basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using only native modules from Node, such as fs to write and read files and http to create the server and handle requests. No database was used, all the records are stored in a single .txt file that is single handed by Node file system module.

Requirements:

• NodeJS v.20 or higher

If you use NVM, just run nvm use inside of the root folder.

Installing:

Since the project was made using only native modules, there's no need to run npm i ou yarn, just clone this repository and you're good to go.
