Pursuit-Core-Web-Nested-Routing-App-Structure-Lab

Build a backend for a recipe API. It should have the following functionality:

Planning

Think about what are you your main endpoints.
What endpoints will be nested under other endpoints
What type of request you will want to accept at a given endpoint: GET, POST, PUT?
What data would you need to provide to your endpoints.
- Any URL or Query parameters in you endpoints?
- Body data?
What should your endpoint return/respond with.

Optionally, in a file called docs.md plan and document your API before you start coding. You could do something like this or simpler.

Data Models

Recipes

Add a recipe
Update a recipe
Delete a recipe
Get all recipes
Get all recipes matching a given ingredient

A recipe object should look like this:

{
    name: "Grilled Cheese",
    ingredients: [
        "Bread",
        "Cheese",
        "Butter"
    ],
    directions: "Preheat skillet over medium heat. Generously butter one side of a slice of bread. Place bread butter-side-down onto skillet bottom and add 1 slice of cheese. Butter a second slice of bread on one side and place butter-side-up on top of sandwich. Grill until lightly browned and flip over; continue grilling until cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining 2 slices of bread, butter and slice of cheese."
}

Users

Add a user
Update a user
Delete a user
Get all users
Get all users with an activation date in a given range. Say we want all the users that where activated between 2019

A user object should look like this:

{
    username: "user1234",
    email: "[email protected]",
    activationDate: "January 1, 1970"
}

Bonus

Implement Users and Recipes in an more object oriented fashion ala Express-Project with classes and methods that are used in your route handlers/middleware.
Do you want to persist the data even after server resets? Look into how to save your data in JSON files to be stored in your disk here: Node.js Write JSON Object to File.
