Project description

Fully functioning web application where a user can perform CRUD operations.
There is no actual database, and the app imitates working with database by performing read and write operations over data/data.json file that stores actual data.

index.js is a server-side js that runs localhost server.

CSS is stored in public/ folder and it is encouraged to store additional client-side js, css and media files in that folder accordingly.

routes/students.js handles route requests.

All rendering templates are stored in views/ folder.

Back-end is built with the help of Express.
To make the app dynamic, Pug is used.
