Express Products API

A small Express.js API with two routes:

Method	Route	Description
GET	/products	Returns the list of products
POST	/products	Accepts JSON and adds a new product to the list

Products are stored in memory, so the list resets when the server restarts.

Setup

npm install
npm start

The server runs at http://localhost:8080.

Testing with Postman

Import postman_collection.json into Postman, or create the requests by hand:

1. View the list: send a GET request to http://localhost:8080/products.

2. Add a product: send a POST request to http://localhost:8080/products. In the Body tab, choose raw and JSON, then enter:

   {
     "name": "Mouse",
     "price": 49.99
   }

   The response has status 201 Created:

   {
     "message": "Product added",
     "product": { "id": 4, "name": "Mouse", "price": 49.99 }
   }

3. Send the GET request again. The new product is now in the list.

If name (a string) or price (a number) is missing, the API returns 400 Bad Request with an error message.
