In the Happy Thoughts project week 7 we built a frontend in React which uses an API to store thoughts in chatboard.
This week we built our own API which works in the same way and is now tested out in the previous Happy Thoughts frontend project. We can write a new 'happy thought', list recent thoughts, and show a count of 'hearts/like' on each thought. Users could then click the heart to like a thought and post new happy thoughts.

Routes:
/thougths - use either GET or POST to see a list of thoughts or post a new one.
/thoughts/:thoughtId/like - increases the number of hearts/likes on a post
