Learning Objectives

• students will be able to work with application, router, and 3rd party middleware through the use of express.js
• students will be able to implement custom middleware through the use of express.js
• students will be able to create custom routers for a specific resource

Requirements

Configuration

• package.json
• .eslintrc
• .gitignore
• README.md
  • your README.md should include detailed instructions on how to use your API

Feature Tasks

• create a single resource express API that can handle GET, POST, and PUT requests
• use the http-errors module to create new errors and associate them with a proper status code
• create an error-middleware module to handle errors and use it in your server file
• create a cors-middleware module that will allow for public use of your API
• create the deleteItem and availIDs methods and add them to your storage module
  • these methods should be used to delete a resource (deleteItem) and return an array of id's from persisted resource filenames (availIDs)
• create the updateNote, fetchNote, and fetchIDs static methods as part of your Note model
• create a series of note-route-tests to test your GET, POST, and PUT routes
  • hint: you'll want to use the before and after hooks provided by mocha in order to create a test note and delete the note after the test has completed
