Steps to create a REST API

Here's an outline of the steps we'll follow to create our REST API.

To create our application, we will need two Ubos services:

  • Node-RED for building our back-end application using visual blocks
  • MongoDB for storing and manipulating data

To build a simple REST API from scratch, we will first set up our working environment, create the services, and connect them. Then, we will develop the functionality of each CRUD operation: create, read, update, and delete.
