User create using NodeJS

#node

Objective: In this article, you will know mongoose model, how to create user using node, router.

Pre-requisite Prior to completing this article, you should have already installed all pre-requisite tooling including: Visual Studio Code, Node Package Manager (NPM), Node, Postman, Mongo Compass.

Create a Model (ProfileModel.js) 

const mongoose = require('mongoose') const DataSchema = mongoose.Schema({ FirstName : {type: String}, LastName : {type: String}, EmailAddress : {type: String}, MobileNumber : {type: String}, City : {type: String}, UserName : {type: String}, Password : {type: String} }); const ProfileModel = mongoose.model('Profile', DataSchema) module.exports = ProfileModel;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Create a Controller (ProfileController.js)

At first import ProfileModel. Declare a variable reqBody to store body data. Then create user using ProfileModel model

const ProfileModel = require("../models/ProfileModel"); exports.CreateProfile = (req, res) => { let reqBody = req.body; ProfileModel.create(reqBody, (err, data) => { if(err){ res.status(400).json({status: "Failed to user create", data: err}) }else{ res.status(200).json({status: "Successfully user created", data: data}) } }) }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Default configuration (app.js) 

// Basic import const express = require('express'); const router = require('./src/routes/api') const app = new express(); const bodyParser = require('body-parser') // Database lib import const mongoose = require('mongoose') // Body parser implement app.use(bodyParser.json()) // MongoDB database connection let uri = 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/PracticeDB' let options = {user: '', pass: ''} mongoose.connect(uri, options, (err) => { if(err){ console.log(err) }else{ console.log('Database Connection Success') } }) // Routing Implement app.use('/api/v1', router) // Undefined Route Implement app.use("*", (req, res) => { res.status(404).json({status: "Failed", data: "Not Found"}) }) module.exports = app;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Routes configuration (api.js) 

const express = require('express'); const ProfileController = require('../controller/ProfileController') const router = express.Router(); router.post('/CreateProfile', ProfileController.CreateProfile) module.exports = router;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Index file (index.js) 

const app = require('./app') app.listen(5000, function(){ console.log('Server run at @5000 port') })
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now open the Postman and configure few thing like
