Building a REST API with Claude Code

Claude Code Session planning build You Build a REST API for task management using Node.js, Express, and SQLite. Include CRUD endpoints, validation, and a health check. Agent I'll scaffold a production-ready Express + SQLite task API with clear routing, request validation, and a health endpoint. Plan: 1) initialize the project, 2) install dependencies, 3) create database bootstrap logic, 4) implement CRUD routes for /tasks, 5) add validation and error handling, and 6) verify with sample requests. ▸ Bash npm init -y && npm install express sqlite3 zod && npm install -D nodemon Input $ npm init -y && npm install express sqlite3 zod && npm install -D nodemon Output Wrote package.json added 183 packages found 0 vulnerabilities Agent Dependencies are in place. Next, I'll create a single-file starter API with SQLite bootstrap logic, a normalized tasks schema, and endpoints for GET /health, GET /tasks, GET /tasks/:id, POST /tasks, PUT /tasks/:id, PATCH /tasks/:id/status, and DELETE /tasks/:id.
