How mvddmn/datausers-api works
datausers-api is a small Express API for testing and development with user records and unique IDs. A client sends requests to the server, which mounts the users router at /api/users; the router lists, retrieves, creates, updates, and deletes users through the Mongoose User model. The server also connects to MongoDB. The excerpts show the route-to-model calls and connection setup; they do not establish a separate model-to-database call, so that link is omitted.
