So you built a turtles API. The only issue is you are using an array so it resets whenever the server resets. Try refactoring your API using mongoose.

General Steps to take

TEST EACH STEP AS YOU GO, USE POSTMAN

• install mongoose and dotenv
• setup your connection in server.js or another file
• setup your Turtle model in server.js or another file
• create a route that is a get request to /seed that will pass the turtles array to Turtle.create and seed your database
• refactor the index route to pull the data from mongo not the array
• refactor the show route to pull the data from mongo not the array based on :id not :index
• refactor the create route to create a new turtle in mongo not the array
• refactor the update route to update an existing turtle in mongo, not the array using :id not :index
• refactor the delete route to delete an existing turtle in mongo, not the array using :id not :index

Hungry for More

Create a react app and try to at least call the index route and display the turtles.
