Step 0: initial setup (ironlauncher)

Step 1: create Book Model + seeds file

Step 2: (READ) display a list with all books in the DB

• Create a route (GET /books)
• Make a request to the DB --> Book.find()
• Create a view books-list.hbs (and pass the data from the database)

Step 3: (READ) book details page

• Update books-list.hbs (add link to each book)
• Create a route (GET /books/:bookId)
• Make a request to the DB to get the details of book with id bookId --> Book.findById()
• Create view (book-details.hbs)

Step 4: (CREATE) functionality to create new books

• Step 4.a: display a form to create new books

  • Create a route (GET /books/create)
  • Create a view (book-create.hbs)

• Step 4.b: process the form and save new book in DB

  • Create a route (POST /books/create)
  • Make a request to the DB to save the new book --> Book.create()
  • After book is created, we will redirect to /books (we don't need to create an additional view)

Step 5: (UPDATE) functionality to update a book

• Step 5.a: display a pre-filled form to update a book

  • add link (eg. in book details page)
  • Create a route (GET /books/:bookId/edit)
  • Make a request to the DB --> Book.findById()
  • Create a view (book-edit.hbs) (and pass the data from the database)

• Step 5.b: process form and update DB

  • Create a route (POST /books/:bookId/edit)
  • Query to the DB --> Book.findByIdAndUpdate(id, newBookDetails)
  • Redirect to the book details page

Step 6: (DELETE) functionality to delete a book

• Add a button (ex. in the list of books) -it needs to be inside a form, so that we send a POST request.
• Create a route (POST /books/:bookId/delete)
• Query to DB --> Book.findByIdAndDelete(req.params.bookId)
• Redirect to /books
