#test-setup

This repo contains a broken server setup you are expected to fix. The server then needs to give the correct responses to the below questions.

To run the server, invoke

$npm install
$npm start

Steps to perform:

1. Fork this repo

2. Debug the errors which are causing the server to crash at initialization.

3. Modify the Api endpoint /hello to accept an optional query such that

   • if /hello is queried, response is Hello, World
   • if /hello?name=harish is queried, response is Hello, Harish

4. Create an api endpoint in src/api/prodapis/handlers.js called /csv2json which accepts a csv file as an input and then sends a json object as response. For eg:

    Payload:
    | Name    | Age  | Sex  |
    | :---:   | :-:  | :-: |
    | Harish  | 10   | M 	|
    | Suresh  | 20   | M 	|
    | Chanda  | 30   | F 	|
   
    Response: 
    [
    	{	
    		"name"	: "Harish",
    		"age"	: "10",
    		"sex"	: "M"
    
    	},
    	{	
    		"name"	: "Suresh",
    		"age"	: "20",
    		"sex"	: "M"
    
    	},
    	{	
    		"name"	: "Chanda",
    		"age"	: "30",
    		"sex"	: "F"
    
    	}
    ]
   

5. Api endpoint /loop processes an array and is supposed to reply the output of function adder, when the array is serially processed through it. Function adder might seem to be performing an overcomplicated addition, but assume it to be a proxy for any asynchronous operation.

We are currently passing an array [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] to the function adder. Calling this api will currently give you:

Response = 0 and on the console :

Trying to add 1
Trying to add 2
Trying to add 3
Trying to add 4
Trying to add 5
Trying to add 6
Trying to add 7
Trying to add 8
Trying to add 9
Trying to add 10
Current sum is 1
Current sum is 2
Current sum is 3
Current sum is 4
Current sum is 5
Current sum is 6
Current sum is 7
Current sum is 8
Current sum is 9
Current sum is 10

This is obviously incorrect, and the correct method should be: Response = 55 with console printing:

Trying to add 1
Current sum is 1
Trying to add 2
Current sum is 3
Trying to add 3
Current sum is 6
Trying to add 4
Current sum is 10
Trying to add 5
Current sum is 15
Trying to add 6
Current sum is 21
Trying to add 7
Current sum is 28
Trying to add 8
Current sum is 36
Trying to add 9
Current sum is 45
Trying to add 10
Current sum is 55

Modify ONLY and only the handler loop to get the expected response. Do not make any changes to function adder. I am interested in receving both the correct response as well as the correct logging on console (showing perfectly that the operation is happening serially, and not parallely). The actual step of addition needs to be performed using function adder, and not bypassing it by any means.

BONUS Question:

Print on console every api call made, along with the response time (in milliseconds) of the API. The log should have the format: method=get, path=/loop, responseTimeMs=124, statusCode=200 Measure response time as the best approximation of the time between server receiving a request and replying to it.
