Create REST API Project Script

This script creates a new REST API project with MongoDB, Node.js, and Express, and sets up the basic project structure.

Prerequisites

Before running this script, make sure you have the following software installed:

• Node.js (https://nodejs.org)
• MongoDB (https://www.mongodb.com)

Usage

• Download or clone this repository.
• Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where the create-express-app.sh file is located.
• Run the command chmod +x create-express-app.sh to make the script executable.
• Run the command ./create-express-app.sh to create a new REST API project.

The script will prompt you for the following information:

• The name of your new project
• The directory where you want to create the project (default is the current directory)

After you provide this information, the script will create a new directory with the specified project name, and will set up the following files and directories:

• app.js: The main application file, which sets up the server and routing.
• config.js: A configuration file for the project.
• controllers/: A directory for your controller files.
• models/: A directory for your model files.
• routes/: A directory for your route files.
• helpers/: A directory for your helper files.
• package.json: A file for managing the project's dependencies.
• README.md: A file for documenting your project.

Customization

If you want to customize the basic structure of the project, you can modify the create-express-app.sh file directly to change the directories and files that are created.
