Calorie Counts API

Overview

Calorie Counts is a 2 week paired project for Module 4 at Turing School of Software and Design, made by Rob Stringer and Logan Pile. The project implements the Express framework with Node.js to build a RESTful API returning meal and food information. A Postgres database with many to many schema holds meal and food information to track calorie consumption. Also implemented is a single page front end with JQuery and ajax calls to the API.
