#Example configuration

This repository contains a basic configuration. The existing setup is a MySQL server on 127.0.0.1:3306, with database testdb, username root and password root. The tables are set up like this:

mysql> show tables;
+------------------+
| Tables_in_testdb |
+------------------+
| files            |
| users            |
+------------------+

mysql> describe files;
+---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field   | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id      | int(11)      | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| content | varchar(100) | YES  |     | NULL    |                |
| name    | varchar(100) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| type    | varchar(100) | YES  |     | NULL    |                |
+---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

mysql> describe users;
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id    | int(11)      | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| name  | varchar(100) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

If you run node app, the following routes are set up:

• http(s)://localhost/api/users, returning the list of users;
• http(s)://localhost/api/file/:id, returning data about a given file (eg. /api/file/2).

The HTTP response looks like this:
