Advanced Node.js Development

Summary

In this chapter, you downloaded and ran the MongoDB database server. This means that we have a local database server we can connect to from our Node application. We also installed Robomongo, which lets us connect to our local database so that we can view and manipulate data. This comes in handy when you're debugging or managing data, or doing anything else with your Mongo database. We'll be using it throughout the book, and you'll begin to see why it's valuable in the later chapters. For now though, you are all set up. You are ready to continue on and start building the Todo API.
