Node employee management system

Greetings!

Let's do some practical thing using Node.

In this Node tutorial series we are going to build an Employee Management System.

• Node introduction
• Node Employee Management System (EMS) setup
• Creating models with mongoose
• Creating a controller in Node
• Creating views with EJS
• Creating layouts

get the complete code
$ git clone https://github.com/slmanju/node-ems.git
$ cd node-ems
$ npm run devstart
navigate to http://localhost:3000

home page

employees page

Generate the project

$ express --ejs --git node-ems
$ cd node-ems
$ npm install
$ npm install nodemon --save
   update scripts: "devstart": "node ./bin/www"
$ npm run devstart
 
quickly check the setup: http://localhost:3000/

Let's modify the folder structure a bit.

$ mkdir server
$ mv routes/ server/
$ mv views/ server/
$ mkdir server/controllers
$ mkdir server/models

> you need to modify the app.js to pick routes, views from server folder now.

Create new employee-controller in server/controllers

Create employee routes

$ mv server/routes/users.js server/routes/employees.js

Quick test on created routes using curl

$ curl -i http://localhost:3000/employees
$ curl -i http://localhost:3000/employees/view/1
$ curl -i http://localhost:3000/employees/create
$ curl -i http://localhost:3000/employees/edit/1
$ curl -i -X POST http://localhost:3000/employees/save
$ curl -i -X POST http://localhost:3000/employees/update/1
$ curl -i -X POST http://localhost:3000/employees/delete/1
