index.js

// ** GENEVA'S NOTES ** //

// express creates a server with node when we run node index.js
// listen is like the start of an app
// get is just doing the usual make request get respone type thing


// Currently following this tutorial from freecodecamp 
// ('https://herewecode.io/blog/step-by-step-guide-create-first-api-with-node-express/)

/*APIs can have different request methods, but the most used are:
    GET: To get a data
    POST: To add a data
    DELETE: To delete a data
    PUT/PATCH: To update a data
*/


import express from "express";

const PORT = 3000;

const app = express();




// The code below starts the API with these parameters:
// 1 - The PORT where your API will be available
// 2 - The callback function (function to call) when your API is ready
app.listen(PORT, () =>
  console.log(`The Ensekai API is running on: http://localhost:${PORT}\nYay! ^w^`)
  );

app.post('/cards', (request, response) => {
