Assignment

The system needs a basic API to handle posts.

Create an api using Node.js, the user of the api should be able to

• Get all posts
• Get all posts for a specific impacter
• Get a post by id
• Update a post
• Delete a post

We have provided a basic setup with a PostgreSQL database that has a basic schema and is populated with data. Feel free to update the schema or exchange any framework that is part of the initial setup if you think that is necessary.

If you feel you have the time, you can also add so the user can create a new post by uploading an image to the API.

Make sure to write down what you would have done if you had more time, and submit it together with the rest of the assignment.

Getting started

To help you with the setup we have provided a PostgreSQL database that runs in Docker. To use this you need to have Docker and Node installed on your computer and then run these commands in your terminal.

1. Open this folder in your terminal
2. Run docker-compose up -d
3. Run npm i
4. Run npm run init-db to setup the database and populate it with data. You can find the database definition in the migrations folder.

If you want to run the database without using docker you will have to update the knexfile.js file with the connection information for your database setup and then run npm run init-db to populate the database.

When you are done you can run docker-compose down to take down the database.

Dev

Run npm run dev to start nodemon with index.js
