Contacts App (Node.js)

An Express web application made in the spirit of the official Flask example application that accompanies the book Hypermedia Systems. You can use this application as a starting point to follow along with the book starting at HTMX Patterns.

Note

This project uses the Library Manager CLI to manage client-side libraries. You do not need it, but I find if you have .NET on your system it is really handy for handling non-bundled client-side assets.
```
# Install the client-side libraries
libman restore
```
The data service is rudimentary as that is not the point of the book, and by using a JSON file as the data store, it is easy to follow along without setting up a database and worrying about additional dependencies.
I will win no awards for design in my lifetime and I am okay with this.
