We will be building the API which we used in the Northcoders News Sprint during the Front End block of the course. Your mongoose models and a Database seed file have been done for you.

1. Seed your database with the main seed file $ node seed/seed.js
2. Build your express App
3. Mount an API Router onto your app
4. Define the routes described below
5. Define controller functions for each of your routes
6. Test your api! (Day two)
