This was a fun project as it was my first experience using Node Express for a server, as well as the accompanying packages. I've primarily utizlied rails' WEBrick or Puma servers, but have been wanting to learn about Node Express, so enjoyed that.

1. Install using npm install
2. Run using npm start or node server.js

To simulate locally how Mixmax calls the typeahead URL (to return a JSON list of typeahead results), run:

curl http://localhost:9145/typeahead?text=alcatraz

or in your browser navigate to:

http://localhost:9145/typeahead?text=alcatraz

To simulate locally how Mixmax calls the resolver URL (to return HTML that goes into the email), run:

curl http://localhost:9145/resolver?text=alcatraz

or in your browser navigate to:

http:/localhost:9145/resolver?text=alcatraz
