Rest API

My Task

Rest API example to practice

Create a Express server that handles:

• A GET request endpoint at / as a landing page for your API.
• A GET request endpoint at /user to display all users in DB.
• A POST request endpoint at /user to add new user to DB.
• A PUT request endpoint at /user/:name to update user from DB upon their name.
• A PATCH request endpoint at /user/:name to update some user data from DB upon their name.
• A GET request endpoint at /display/:name to display one user from DB upon their name.

New user endpoint should be able to accept a JSON object like the following:

{
  "userName": "steel",
  "userPass": "123pass",
  "age": "32",
  "fbw": "48",
  "toolStack": ["Js", "Html5", "Css3", "Sass"],
  "email": "[email protected]"
}

For the endpoint /user that adds new user

• Create a middleware method that will make sure the object received contains userName, userPass, age, fbw and email.
• Create a middleware method that will check if the user is above 18 years old
• Create a middleware method that will check if the user belongs to our FBW
• If all the above is true, then you should send a response with a success message
• If any of the middleware fails, you should send a response with an error message that says why the user is not valid.

EXAMPLE RESPONSES

// Success case
{
  "message" : "This user is valid!"
}


// Failure
{
  "message": "We can not validate your user. They are not a member of FBW48"
}


// Other case of Failure
{
  "message": "We can not validate your user. we don't accept pp that are below 18 years of age"
}

For the /display/:name endpoint:

• Create a middleware that makes the firstName starts with a capital letter.
• Create a middleware that sorts the toolStack array alphabetically.
• Create a middleware that will turn age and fbw to numbers.

EXAMPLE RESPONSES

{
  "userName": "Steel",
  "userPass": "123pass",
  "age": 32,
  "fbw": 48,
  "toolStack": ["Css3", "Html5", "Js", "Sass"],
  "email": "[email protected]"
}

Make sure that you Organize (route, controller and module) Ps: new our new Rest API needs new DB 😉

Happy codding ☘️
