RESTful Web API with Node.js Framework

This project introduces you to the fundamentals of web APIs with Node.js frameworks. Using your own private blockchain to create a web API is a huge first step toward developing your own web applications that are consumable by a variety of web clients.

For this project, you’ll build a RESTful API using a Node.js framework that will interface with the private blockchain!.

STEP 1: SELECT Node.JS framework

Created basic hello world using ExpressJS, SailsJS and HapiJs Link

Reason I have selected SailsJs is:

• Sails makes it easy to build custom, enterprise-grade Node.js apps.
• Sails is the most popular MVC framework for Node.js

Step 2: Configure API Service (SAILS.JS)

Steps to install Sails.js

mkdir sailsapi
cd sailsapi
npm init
sails new api-project
cd api-project
sails lift
