The hardest part about this project was making sure all my routes were working in insomnia and the routes were correct. I was stumped for a long time with the models because I kept getting an error with the belongsToMany being wrong and it turns out it was supposed to be hasMany.

There were two errors that never changed for create and update product. However, even if it was a bad request, the data was still added and insomnia was working.

Overall, I enjoyed this project because I like working with insomnia and it went very smoothly even if there was some bumps.
