API Development using Vibe Coding

The Prompt

Build a News API backend using [Node.js/Express].

Core Data Model: Every 'Article' must have:

id: A unique identifier (UUID or Auto-increment).

title: A string for the headline.

description: A short summary of the news.

image: A URL string for a thumbnail.

category: A string (e.g., 'Tech', 'Sports', 'World').

Required Features:

CRUD Endpoints: Create a POST to add news, GET to fetch all news, and GET by ID.

Filtering: Allow me to filter news by category using a query parameter (e.g., /news?category=Tech).

Persistence: Use a simple [SQLite] database so data stays after a restart.

Mock Data: Seed the database with 5 diverse news examples so I can test it immediately.

The Vibe: Keep the code clean, modular, and provide a short README in the chat on how to test the endpoints using Curl or an API client."
