This is the API folder to be used in conjunction with the "moodtrace_webapp" application. This API folder does not include the node_modules folder containing the required dependencies for the project - the NPM command "npm install" can instead be used in the Terminal to generate the node_modules folder and download the packages listed in package.json with all required dependencies. Ensure that the API is running alongside the "moodtrace_webapp" application. Both should be accessible simultaneously for the web application to interact with the API endpoints. Please ensure the "DB_NAME" within the config.env file matches the database name within phpMyAdmin.

Once dependencies are successfully installed, start the server by running "npm start" within the terminal. The server runs on "http://localhost:3002".
