Currently the API returns "Hello World!" on GET /
Instead it should return the full list of how to use the API.

Directions/Approach

The "Hello World!" string here should be replace with appropriate text.

Currently the API stores the paste in an pastes variable which is resets everytime you launch the server.
We need to configure a persistent storage preferably a database.

Add an API Method so that one can delete the paste that was created earlier.

• DELETE /:id - Delete the paste with the given id.

Directions/Approach

Add router.delete('/',deletefunction) in mod.ts

A method to DELETE a paste was implemented in #8. We just need to document it in our README like other methods.

Add issue templates and pull request templates to the repository.

Currently the API only accepts text/plain as it's content type. The API needs to be able to parse other content types like application/json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Some hints on how to implement this can be taken from https://github.com/oakserver/oak/blob/main/examples/routingServer.ts#L50-L67

We are using an integer which increments after each paste as the id for the paste. This is not the right way to generate the id.
We need it to be a randomly generated id, something like b7ckgse8c which is entirely composed a-z,A-Z and 0-9. We can further discuss the specifics of the random id if you are interested.

Currently we need to send GET requests through various tools to form a paste.

We need to be able to serve a simple form based html file which can communicate with the server as well.

The static file needs to be served at /web. You can take some reference from https://github.com/oakserver/oak/blob/main/examples/staticServer.ts#L76-L82

Currently all the API methods are present in mod.ts itself. This will hinder the readability of the code once there are more methods.
We need to create a different directory and add all the API methods in it.
