  Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.

  

Once it has successfully built and deployed on Code Capsules, we can try this new route out. To do this, download Postman, which is a tool that makes it easier to interact with APIs.

Head over to GitHub and create a new repo. We're calling it game-api here, but you can give it any name. Choose a Node .gitignore file to get started. Then clone the new GitHub repo onto your computer and navigate to that directory in a terminal (or command prompt, if you're on Windows).

• Express

  678 63,824 8.3 JavaScript

  Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

  

We'll use the Express generator to create the project base. Express is a lightweight web framework for Node.js. To create the base project, type in the following:

• Visual Studio Code

  2,848 158,365 10.0 TypeScript

  Visual Studio Code

  

The command npm install downloads and installs all the dependencies and packages required by the base project. Open the folder with Visual Studio Code or an editor of your choice, and browse through the files to get familiar with them. The app.js file in the project root is the main entry point for the app.

• InfluxDB
