Repository files navigation

• Backend: Node.js/Express/REST
• Javascript Frontend: Node.js/Bootstrap Material/Jade
• Database: sqlite3, Sequelize, (Ruby for initialization)

1. Install dependencies:

Make sure you haveNode JS andnpm installed. If you want to re-create the DB you will also needRuby installed.After that open Terminal at the project folder and hitnpm install

2. Load the Database:

The database related files are all in thedb folder. It has the challenegeCSV dump as well.The first step is to move thecsv file contents intosqlite3 database. It is done using a simpleRuby script. I amnot much of an expert on ruby and thus wrote some simple code. Anyways

cd db/seed and typeruby seed-sqlite.rb

This generates aplural-sight.sqlite3 database file in thedb folder.

3. Run in development mode:

Navigate back to the projectroot folder and type:

npm start and browsehttp://localhost:3000/ on any modern browser.

To check the api endpoints either usePOSTMAN orINSOMNIA.

• GET:/api/question - Gets all the questions form the database
• GET:/api/question/:id - Gets the question specified by theid
• POST:api/question - Creates a new question & adds it to the database
• PUT:/api/question/:id - Updates an existing question with the specifiedid

Example Body for POST & PUT calls:

{    "question" : "What is 400 * 4 ?",    "answer" : "1600",    "distractors" : "8000, 80"}
