This week I created an API that worked with a pre-existing project, the Happy Thoughts project.
Buildling this API required understanding more about how the original Happy Thoughts API worked and replicating. This ensured that my API worked smoothly with the existing frontend. I spent a while reviewing the materials for the week and completing the codealong. I also referred to the way I had written the previous week's project to reinforce how to use mongoose, MongoDB, Atlas, and Compass. Once this API was deployed, I replaced the original API in the Happy Thoughts project, and tested it to ensure it worked.
If I had more time, I would implement pagination and potentially add additional features to the API/frontend.
