Westeros Beast Ledger 🐉

Problem

Welcome Maester Nodeon, you have inherited this ledger from your predecessor.

Complete the following tasks to turn this ledger into a wealth of information for all of Westeros.

Ahem, we're going to turn a little technical now.

1. Serve all the files in the public directory on the '/' path of your app. This exposes a frontend that makes requests to the app.
2. Create a GET /api/beasts to get all the records. The data can be found in data/beasts.json
   • Checkout the / route in your browser!
3. Add support for query parameter species in the created endpoint. Return an array of records that match the type.
   • Checkout the Dragons and Dire wolves pages!
4. Checkout the Register a Beast page. Create a handler for POST /api/beasts. Save this information back to data/beasts.json.

Finished? How about some additional challenges? 😁

5. Add support for saving the image file in the public/data/images directory.

   1. Send file data with the form from the frontend by adding enctype to the form.

    <form action="/api/beasts" method="post" id="register-form"  enctype="multipart/form-data">

6. Implement a PUT /api/beasts/:id endpoint to replace the details of a beast.

7. Implement DELETE /api/beasts/:id endpoint to delete a beast from the ledger.
