Lab #6 Solution

For this lab, you will create a simple server that will represent the same data that you created in lab 5 by sending JSON

down through API calls.

 

For this lab, you will not need to use a database. You can store your data right in your routes.

 

 

Your routes

 

 

/about

 

This route will return the following JSON:

 

 

{

 

"name": "Your Name",

 

"biography": "2 biography paragraphs seperated", "favoriteShows": ["array", "of", "favorite", "shows"], "hobbies": ["array", "of", "hobbies"]

}

 

 

/story

 

This route will return the following JSON:

 

 

{

 

"storyTitle": "Story Title","story": "Your story"

}

 

 

/education

 

This route will return the following JSON:

 

 

[

 

{

 

"schoolName": "First School Name", "degree": "First School Degree", "favoriteClass": "Favorite class in school",

"favoriteMemory": "A memorable memory from your time in that school"

 

},

 

{

 

"schoolName": "Second School Name", "degree": "Second School Degree", "favoriteClass": "Favorite class in school",

"favoriteMemory": "A memorable memory from your time in that school"

 

}

 

]

 

 

Packages you will use:

 

You will use the express package as your server.

 

You can read up on  express     (http://expressjs.com/) on its home page. Specifically, you may find the  API Guide section on requests     (http://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html#req) useful.

 

You may use the  lecture 4 code      (https://github.com/Stevens­CS546/CS­546­WS­Summer­

1/tree/master/Lecture%20Code/lecture_4) as a guide.

 

You may use the  lecture 5 code      (https://github.com/Stevens­CS546/CS­546­WS­Summer­

1/tree/master/Lecture%20Code/lecture_5) as a guide.

 

You may use the  lecture 6 code      (https://github.com/Stevens­CS546/CS­546­WS­Summer­

1/tree/master/Lecture%20Code/lecture_6) as a guide.

 

You must  save all dependencies to your package.json file

 

 

Requirements

 

1. You must  not submit your node_modules folder

2. You must  remember to save your dependencies to your package.json folder

3. You must do basic error checking in each function

1. Check for arguments existing and of proper type.

2. Throw if anything is out of bounds (ie, trying to perform an incalculable math operation or accessing data that does not exist)

3. If a function should return a promise, instead of throwing you should return a rejected promise.

 

4. You must  remember to update your package.json file to set   app.js  as your starting script!

5. You must  submit a zip, rar, tar.gz, or .7z archive or you will lose points, named in the followign format:

LastName_FirstName_CS546_SECTION.zip (or, whatever the file extension may be). You will lose points for not submitting an archive.
