Detailed Design Document

mongoDB

• The UI relies on the Bootstrap and JavaScript.
• Navigating to the upload page, you will be greeted with a drop down menu where you choose the country to upload.
• Selecting a country triggers an Ajax request to a form factory that returns correct version of the form based on country selected.
• Client side validation is responsible for ensuring that the required fields for that country are not empty.

• It is instantiated through the factory pattern.
• It consults rules tables for the fields to be provided for countries.

• The API can be invoked by the application as well as the user.
• The API receives requests, either from the UI or from a service such as curl.
• When calling the API for upload or query, Country Data must always be provided in JSON format.
• API provides four endpoints.
  • The home(/api) endpoint gives information about accessible endpoints and accepted data format.
  • The upload(/api/upload) and query(/api/query) endpoints are invoked by the UI through POST requests to upload and query the address data.
  • The address can also be directly updated using /api/update/{addressID} endpont. This accepts the PUT requests and expects JSON payload with the addressID.
