We'll start shortly

With node and mongodb installed on your machine

Start a project and name the folder OnlineTutorApi

With your favorite editor, open the newly created folder. We have alot to do so let's get started

My favorite editor is VSCode, so open a new terminal in your editor and in your root directory, run the following command

npm init --y

Npm is a package manager for node and we'll be using it to manage our dependencies

Following

Now you have the node_modules folder, package. json and a package-lock.json files in your root directory

Package.json will help us keep track of the dependencies we'll use, package-lock.json will help keep track of versioning and other important roles

Node_modules folder is were all node modules and other dependencies reside

So let's get started.

Your folder structure is important in that it helps with modularity. Breaking down each module by it's respective role

In your root directory, create a folder called app, in it create the following folders.

1. Config
2. Controllers
3. Middlewares
4. Models
5. Routes

Go back to your root directory and create the following files

1. app.js
2. server.js
