Initial Setup

This tutorial assumes that you have some experience with ExpressJS and MongoDB

In this tutorial, we will walkthrough on how to create your own reusable functional module, There are three ways to create functional modules:

1 - The Devtools home screen

2 - The terminal by running this command on your terminal

Copy
npm run generate:module

3 - Create them manually from scratch

To show you how functional modules work under the hood we will go with the third approach, in your text editor go under /modules and create a new folder call it todo you can call it whatever seems fit but we'll be making a todo module, that's a simple rest API for todos with a simple CRUD to familiarize yourself with izmjs.

In your terminal change directories to /todo and initialize it

Copy
cd todo
npm init -y
