Guided project for Node API 1 Module.
In this project we will learn how to create a very simple Web API using Node.js and Express, and cover the basics of server-side routing and using global middleware.
The code for the guided project will be written in a single file for simplicity. We'll see ways to structure an API to make it more maintainable in upcoming lectures.
- fork and clone this repository.
- CD into the folder where you cloned your fork.
Build a RESTful Web API to manage "Lessons" and "Hubs". A Hub is a group chat channel that brings together an instructor and a group of students from the same cohort as they work on a Lesson.
An example would be a Hub created to go over the "Introduction to Node and Express" lesson for the Web 1 cohort.
A Lesson has:
- a unique
id. - a
name.
A Hub has:
- a unique
id. - a
name. - a
lessonIdthat connects it to the corresponding Lesson. - a
cohort.
The Web API must provide a set of endpoints to fulfill the following needs:
- add a new Lesson.
- view a list of existing Lessons.
- view the details of a single Lesson
- update the information of an existing Lesson.
- remove a Lesson.
- add a new Hub.
- view a list of existing Hubs.
- view the details of a single Hub
- update the information of an existing Hub.
- remove a Hub.
Here is a table with the endpoint descriptions:
| Action | URL | Method | Response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add a Lesson | /api/lessons | POST | the new Lesson |
| View list of Lessons | /api/lessons | GET | array of Lessons |
| View Lesson details | /api/lessons/{id} | GET | a Lesson |
| Update Lesson | /api/lessons/{id} | PATCH | updated Lesson |
| Remove a Lesson | /api/lessons/{id} | DELETE | deleted Lesson |
| Add a Hub | /api/hubs | POST | the new Hub |
| View list of Hubs | /api/hubs | GET | array of Hubs |
| View Hub details | /api/hubs/{id} | GET | a Hub |
| Update Hub | /api/hubs/{id} | PATCH | updated Hub |
| Remove a Hub | /api/hubs/{id} | DELETE | deleted Hub |
