-![cf](https://i.imgur.com/7v5ASc8.png) 11: Single Resource Express API
-======
+To use this API.
 
-## Submission Instructions
-  * fork this repository & create a new branch for your work
-  * write all of your code in a directory named `lab-` + `<your name>` **e.g.** `lab-susan`
-  * push to your repository
-  * submit a pull request to this repository
-  * submit a link to your PR in canvas
-  * write a question and observation on canvas
 
-## Learning Objectives  
-* students will be able to create a single resource API using the express framework
-* students will be able to leverage 3rd party helper modules for debugging, logging, and handling errors
+Open your terminal and run the server. (npm run start)
 
-## Requirements
+in a seperate pane, make a request, http :(port) /
 
-#### Configuration
-* `package.json`
-* `.eslintrc`
-* `.gitignore`
-* `README.md`
-  * your `README.md` should include detailed instructions on how to use your API
+That should get you a test entry.
 
-#### Feature Tasks
-* create an HTTP server using `express`
-* create a object constructor that creates a _simple resource_ with at least 3 properties
-  * it can **not** have the same properties as the in-class sample code (other than the `id`)
-  * a unique `id` property should be included *(node-uuid)*
-  * include two additional properties of your choice
-* use the JSON parser included with the `body-parser` module as a middleware component to parse the request body on `POST` and `PUT` routes
-* use the npm `debug` module to log the methods in your application
-* create an `npm` script to automate the `debug` process and start the server
-* persist your API data using the storage module and file system persistence
-
-#### Server Endpoints
-* **`/api/simple-resource-name`**
-* `POST` request
- * pass data as stringifed JSON in the body of a **POST** request to create a new resource
-* `GET` request
- * pass `?id=<uuid>` as a query string parameter to retrieve a specific resource (as JSON)
-* `DELETE` request
- * pass `?id=<uuid>` in the query string to **DELETE** a specific resource
- * this should return a 204 status code with no content in the body
-
-#### Tests
-* write a test to ensure that your api returns a status code of 404 for routes that have not been registered
-* write tests to ensure the `/api/simple-resource-name` endpoint responds as described for each condition below:
- * `GET`: test 404, it should respond with 'not found' for valid requests made with an id that was not found
- * `GET`: test 400, it should respond with 'bad request' if no id was provided in the request
- * `GET`: test 200, it should contain a response body for a request made with a valid id
- * `POST`: test 400, it should respond with 'bad request' if no request body was provided or the body was invalid
- * `POST`: test 200, it should respond with the body content for a post request with a valid body
+to do a post, run the post style http server access to /api/hike. Same with put and delete.
