README.md
- your
README.md
should include detailed instructions on how to use your API
- Create an HTTP server using
express
- Create a object constructor that creates a simple resource with at least 3 properties
- it can not have the same properties as the in-class sample code (other than the
id
)
- a unique
id
property should be included (node-uuid)
- include two additional properties of your choice
- Use the JSON parser included with the
body-parser
module as a middleware component to parse the request body on POST
and PUT
routes
- Use the npm
debug
module to log the methods in your application
- Create an
npm
script to automate the debug
process and start the server
- Persist your API data using the storage module and file system persistence
/api/simple-resource-name
POST
request
- pass data as stringifed JSON in the body of a POST request to create a new resource
GET
request
- pass
?id=<uuid>
as a query string parameter to retrieve a specific resource (as JSON)
DELETE
request
- pass
?id=<uuid>
in the query string to DELETE a specific resource
- this should return a 204 status code with no content in the body
- write a test to ensure that your api returns a status code of 404 for routes that have not been registered
- write tests to ensure the
/api/simple-resource-name
endpoint responds as described for each condition below:
GET
: test 404, it should respond with 'not found' for valid requests made with an id that was not found
GET
: test 400, it should respond with 'bad request' if no id was provided in the request
GET
: test 200, it should contain a response body for a request made with a valid id
POST
: test 400, it should respond with 'bad request' if no request body was provided or the body was invalid
POST
: test 200, it should respond with the body content for a post request with a valid body
