Node.js PostgreSQL CRUD example with Express Rest APIs

We will build Rest Apis that can create, retrieve, update, delete and find Tutorials by title.

The following table shows overview of the Rest APIs that will be exported:

• GET api/tutorials get all Tutorials
• GET api/tutorials/:id get Tutorial by id
• POST api/tutorials add new Tutorial
• PUT api/tutorials/:id update Tutorial by id
• DELETE api/tutorials/:id remove Tutorial by id
• DELETE api/tutorials remove all Tutorials
• GET api/tutorials/published find all published Tutorials
• GET api/tutorials?title=[kw] find all Tutorials which title contains 'kw'

Front-end that works well with this Back-end

Axios Client

Angular 8 / Angular 10 / Angular 11 / Angular 12 / Angular 13 / Angular 14 / Angular 15 / Angular 16

Vue 2 Client / Vue 3 Client / Vuetify Client

React Client / React Redux Client

Demo Video

This is our Node.js PostgreSQL CRUD example using Express & Sequelize application demo, test Rest Apis with Postman.

Test the APIs

Run our Node.js application with command: node server.js.

Using Postman, we're gonna test all the Apis above.

• Create a new Tutorial using POST /tutorials Api

After creating some new Tutorials, you can check PostgreSQL table:

• Retrieve all Tutorials using GET /tutorials Api

• Retrieve a single Tutorial by id using GET /tutorials/:id Api

• Update a Tutorial using PUT /tutorials/:id Api

Check tutorials table after some rows were updated:

 id |     title      |    description    | published |         createdAt          |         updatedAt
----+----------------+-------------------+-----------+----------------------------+----------------------------

• Find all Tutorials which title contains 'js': GET /tutorials?title=js

• Find all published Tutorials using GET /tutorials/published Api

• Delete a Tutorial using DELETE /tutorials/:id Api

Tutorial with id=4 was removed from tutorials table:

 id |     title      |    description    | published |         createdAt          |         updatedAt

• Delete all Tutorials using DELETE /tutorials Api

Now there are no rows in tutorials table:

 id | title | description | published | createdAt | updatedAt
