Records

This is a mixture of JS/Node/Express API server and Python3 functionality to provide access to reading, sorting, and updating data files. Everyone knows how to access data for CRUD operations via JS, so I wanted to show what it's like to create a bridge between JS and Python so we can use the best of both worlds.

Getting Started

First, install JS dependencies:

npm install

There are no Python3 dependences at the moment other than built-in libraries.

Next, run the server:

npm start

Then in a separate console you can run both Python and JS tests:

npm test

Open http://localhost:5000/records/gender with your browser to see the sort by gender (females before males) then by last name ascending.

Open http://localhost:5000/records/birthdate with your browser to see the sort by birth date, ascending.

Open http://localhost:5000/records/name with your browser to see the sort by last name, descending.

POST to http://localhost:5000/records with file, delimiter, and record data to save the record.

The record should have these attributes:

• lastName
• firstName
• gender
• favoriteColor
• dateOfBirth
