Workshop: Backend Fundamentals - Gamestore

Overview

CREATE DATABASE gamestore or createdb gamestore

npm install

npn run seed

In this workshop, you will learn how to create a RESTful API with Express using try / catch blocks. We'll also review body-parser and how to use it to parse the body of a request as well as CORS middleware.

Problem 1: GET all video games

Inside our /api/ directory, we have a videoGames.js file. This file contains all of our video game routes. We have already created the route handler for GET /api/video-games. This route handler will return all of the video games in our database.

HINT: Follow the logic in the getAllVideoGames() function.

Problem 2: GET video games by ID

Our GET /api/video-games/:id route handler is not working. We need to fix this route handler so that it returns a single video game by ID.

Problem 3: POST add a new video game

Write the route handler and database query for POST /api/video-games. This route handler should add a new video game to the database.

HINT: Follow the logic in the createVideoGame() function.

Problem 4: PUT update a video game

Write the route handler and database query for PUT /api/video-games/:id. This route handler should update a video game in the database.

Problem 5: DELETE a board game

Write the route handler and database query for DELETE /api/video-games/:id. This route handler should delete a video game from the database.
