Podcast: Code Sets You Free

A tech-culture podcast where you learn to fight the enemies that blocks your way to become a successful professional in tech.

Listen the podcast
🔥 This exercise is designed to be performed by 1 person.

Technologies: Node, express, express-generator.

We are going to create a REST API that in it we can manage an array of tasks from node/express.

The idea is to create with node and express the different endpoints or routes to perform a CRUD (Create, List, Update, Delete) on an array of tasks.

🌱 How to start this project

a) Configure express from scratch.

b) Create the project using express-generator.

💡 Important: save your code to your new repository using add, commit and push.

Strategy

Take a few minutes to analyze 🤯 your strategy on it, identify the elements that you are going to use as express:

Once the strategy is finished you can start coding, start programming 🎊!

About the project we are going to build

In this project we must build a REST API that exposes the following 4 routes to the internet:

1GET /todos 2POST /todos 3PUT /todos/:position 4DELETE /todos/:position

GET /todos

It should return the existing tasks in the array.

1[ 2 { 3 "done": false, 4 "label": "Sample Todo 1" 5 }, 6 { 7 "done": false, 8 "label": "Sample Todo 2" 9 } 10]

POST /todos

We must be able to send the following data to the endpoint and be able to add said data to the tasks array.

1{ 2 "done": false, 3 "label": "Sample Todo 1" 4}

PUT /todos/:position

We must be able to send the following data to the endpoint and be able to update said data in the task array according to its position.

1{ 2 "done": true, 3 "label": "Sample Todo 1" 4}

And return the updated list of all.

DELETE /todos/:position

You should remove the task from our array according to the position given to the endpoint in the url and return the updated list of tasks.
