🛠️ 8 Express.js Projects Every Beginner Should Build

I built 8 small Express.js projects to practice routing, middleware, error handling, and basic REST API design. Each project solves a specific problem and helped me get hands-on with backend development.

✅ What’s Included

1. Student Management API – Full CRUD for student records
2. Static Pages – /about, /contact, /services with custom text
3. Route Logger – Middleware that logs every request method and URL
4. Error Handling – Simulated crash and custom 404 + 500 pages
5. Feedback Collector – POST /feedback with validation and custom response
6. Course Details API – GET /courses/:id returns course info from mock data
7. Simple Blog Viewer – List blog titles and full post by ID
8. Search & Filters – Filter students by course using query params

Each file is simple, readable, and can be run directly using Node.js + Express.
