This repository contains a simple and efficient RESTful API built with Express.js and Mongoose, allowing you to perform basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on a collection of books.

• Create: Add new books to the collection with their Title(required), Author(required), Description(optional), PublishedYear(optional).
• Read: Retrieve information about specific books or get a list of all books in the collection.
• Update: Modify the details of existing books.
• Delete: Remove books from the collection as needed.

The API is built using the following technologies:

• Express.js: A flexible and minimalist web application framework for Node.js, providing a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.
• Mongoose: An Object Data Modeling (ODM) library for MongoDB and Node.js, simplifying the interaction with the MongoDB database.
• MongoDB: A popular NoSQL database solution known for its scalability, flexibility, and ease of use.
• RESTful Architecture: The API follows the principles of Representational State Transfer (REST), providing a standard and predictable way to interact with resources.

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Hasib192/basic-book-crud-api.git
2. Install the dependencies: cd basic-book-crud-api and run npm install
3. Create an .env file in your project root folder and add your variables. See .env.example for assistance.
4. Start the server: Run npm start to launch the API.
5. You can now interact with the API endpoints using tools like Postman.
