  • Push to your repository
  • Submit a pull request to this repository
  • Submit a link to your PR in canvas

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to create a RESTful single resource API using the express framework
  • Students will be able to persist data using MongoDB
  • Students will interact with MongoDB through Mongoose

Requirements

Configuration

  • package.json
  • .gitignore
  • README.md
    • Your README.md should include detailed instructions on how to use your API
    • List each GET/PUT/POST/DELETE url endpoint
    • Describe how each endpoint expects to receive data
    • Does data come in on the querystring or through the body?
    • What parameter names does it expect?

Feature Tasks

  • Create an HTTP server using express
  • Create a Mongoose model with at least three attributes
    • it can not have the same properties as the in-class sample code
  • Create a RESTful API to interact with your model through the server.
  • Create a directory called routes that houses files with routes for different parts of your application
  • Create a dictory called models that houses the file with your Mongoose model.

Server Endpoints

  • /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
  • If no ?id= is passed in the URL return a list of ids of every resource.
  • GET request
  • pass ?id=<_id> as a query string parameter to retrieve a specific resource (as JSON)
  • PUT request
  • pass ?id=<_id> as a query string parameter to identify a specific resource (as JSON)
  • pass data as stringifed JSON in the body of a POST request to update a resource
  • DELETE request
  • pass ?id=<_id> in the query string to DELETE a specific resource
  • this should return a 204 status code with no content in the body

Tests

  • 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
