During your programming journey you will come across questions every day and need to find answers for those questions. Studies have found a cognitive benefit to journaling when learning new content, or balancing between multiple priorities. For many people the act of writing down a problem, the path to finding a solution, and the answer, stimulates pathways in the brain which help in memory recall and problem solving.

• ExpressJS
• MongoDB
• Mongoose
• React

Follow the Github Classroom link and clone the starter repository down to your local machine

To complete all icebox stories you will need to be saving data to the cloud, rather than your local machine. Start by connection to your local MongoDB instance located at mongodb://localhost:27017 but keep in mind you may need to change that URL to point to a cloud based database provider if you are tackling the icebox stories.

We use the free database as a service provider, Atlas, for connecting a production version of the application to a database hosted in the cloud. Please visit the following URL and sign-up for an Atlas account in order to create and use a database which is reachable from the internet.

• What fields should be required for a TIL entry?
  • Title?
  • Content?
  • Author?
  • Topic or Category?
  • Links to resources?
• How could you find and update an existing TIL entry?
• How could you search for entries containing a word, phrase, or category?
• How could you remove an existing TIL entry?
• How could you format TIL entries so that code appears mono-spaced and syntax highlighted?
• How could you add comments to TIL entries?
• How do you enforce who can create/edit/delete new entries?

Given: an empty form at the path /

When a user inputs:

To convert JSON to JavaScript object user JSON.parse("{'some': 'json'}");

Then a new TIL entry is created

And the TIL entry.text equals:

To convert JSON to JavaScript object user JSON.parse("{'some': 'json'}");

Given an existing TIL entry with the text:

To convert JSON to JavaScript object user JSON.parse("{'some': 'json'}");

And a when of: 2018-01-01T12:15:00+0400

When a user visits the front end path:

/facts

Then the web-page should display a list of nicely formatted TIL entries including all entries in the DataBase. Currently there will only be one with the contents:

Note: this section was first written in 2018, The actual date for your TIL entry should be much more recent

Given an existing TIL entry with the text attribute of:

To get an objects attributes use Object.keys(someObject);

And the when attribute of:

2018-01-01T14:05:00+0400

And an _id attribute with a value, represented with a path parameter as :objectId.

When a user visits the front end path:

/facts/:objectId

Then the web-page should display a single nicely formatted TIL entry with the attributes:

Given an existing TIL entry with the following attributes:

And a second TIL entry with the following attributes:

When a user visits the URL path in the browser:

/facts

Then the web-page should display two nicely formatted TIL entries with the attributes:

And should be able to navigate to an individual entry's page by clicking on the text

Given an existing TIL entry with the following attributes:

And the record has an _id attribute with a value, represented with a placeholder as :objectId.

When a user visits the URL path /facts/:objectId

Then the web-page is populated with a <form> element containing the inputs for each key on the object and values from the database already filled in. For the example entry from above the form would have the following input types with the corresponding values:

Note: Take a look at the DateTime-Local input type on Mozilla Developer Network DateTime-Local Form Input Type

Given an existing TIL entry with the following attributes:

And the record has an _id attribute with a value, represented with a placeholder as :objectId.

When a user visits the URL path /facts/:objectId they should see a "Delete" button

And the user clicks on the "Delete" button

Then the user should be presented with a confirmation dialog asking Are you sure you want to delete this TIL Entry?

And the TIL entry should be deleted from the facts collection within the database, after clicking Confirm

And the user should be receive an HTTP response code of 200 and then be redirected to the / URL path

Given the user visits the front end path /

When the user enters data in the form to add an entry

Then the user should be able to attach any number of predefined categories (i.e. javascript, json, databases, react) to the entry

And When the entry is submitted the categories should be stored in the database with the rest of the entry's data.

And When the user visits /facts/:objectId the update form should allow the user to modify the categories attached to the entry

Given there are multiple entries in the database

When the user visits the path /facts

Then all entries should be displayed

And There should be a form with two inputs: a dropdown menu for selecting a field, and a text input for user submitted values

And When the user selects a field, and enters a value

Then the list of entries should change to only display entries that match the query from the form.

• When the user visits the homepage prompt them to log in. Users must be logged in to create, read, update, or delete entries, and they should only have access to their own entries
• Search entries by the text they contain, such as 'Javascript', 'React', 'NodeJS', or 'Mongo'.
• Put the site online. Host it live on Heroku, and please include a link to the Heroku URL when you submit your project.
