DataServer - Exercise

Show me the subroute to heaven...

• Refactor the given list of routes into subroutes

  • Create a folder "routes"
  • Create a separate router file for todos, skills, users (so three routers in total)
  • Export the routers together with the arrays into these files
  • Import the routers in your server.js file

• Testing

  • Do REST calls from your RESTED or POSTMAN client to test if all routes are working

• Bonus: Outsource route handlers into controllers

  • Create three controllers: one each for todos, skills and users
  • Test your REST calls one more time

• Bonus: Add storing of data with LowDB

  • Setup a lowdb connection to a file "db.json"

    • Google "lowdb github" & check the documentation in the Repo how to set it up
    • Put your three "hardcoded" arrays as defaults into LowDB (use db.defaults() command for that - check the documentation on that again)

  • Replace the hardcoded responses in the controllers by LowDB queries to your JSON file

  • Test your routes again via REST / POSTMAN:

    • Is the data still correctly stored / updated in your JSON file?

Congratulations!

If you made that work, you are now close to master routing and the most fundamental concept of every backend.
