Votar REST API (Express)

Implementation of the Votar OpenAPI Description using Express.

Core Dependencies

To ensure optimal performance and functionality, the following Node.js and NPM versions are required:

• Node.js >= 22.5.0
• NPM >= 10

You can use nvm to install them, or use the following command if you're using Debian:

sudo apt install nodejs

Verify the installed versions using the following commands:

node -v
npm -v

Application Dependencies

Install the application's dependencies using npm:

npm install

Running the Application

To run the application, execute the following command:

node restapi.js

To make things easier while you code, you can use the next command to restart the server automatically when you make changes. This uses something called npm scripts and a tool called nodemon. Nodemon watches for changes and restarts the server for you.

npm run dev

SQLite

Inside the sqlite directory, run the following command to create the database from the SQL file.

sqlite3 -bail votar.db < votar.sql
