FaunaDB API

By Daniel Medina

This project consists of a rest api that uses FaunaDB as the database to store its contents. It is used in my react app to save and display arbitrary users. It can get all users, get one user, create a user, and delete users, next thing I want to add is the functionality to update users.

It is built using NodeJS and the FaunaDB driver for node. It comes bundled with a web view of the database contents that can be accessed through the root URL. example

Environment Variables

1. PORT: Port number in which to bind the server to.
2. FAUNADB: The FaunaDB api key.
