-
Refactor the given list of routes into subroutes
- Create a folder "routes"
- Create a separate router file for todos, skills, users (so three routers in total)
- Export the routers together with the arrays into these files
- Import the routers in your server.js file
-
Testing
- Do REST calls from your RESTED or POSTMAN client to test if all routes are working
-
Bonus: Outsource route handlers into controllers
- Create three controllers: one each for todos, skills and users
- Test your REST calls one more time
-
Bonus: Add storing of data with LowDB
-
Setup a lowdb connection to a file "db.json"
- Google "lowdb github" & check the documentation in the Repo how to set it up
- Put your three "hardcoded" arrays as defaults into LowDB (use
db.defaults()command for that - check the documentation on that again)
-
Replace the hardcoded responses in the controllers by LowDB queries to your JSON file
-
Test your routes again via REST / POSTMAN:
- Is the data still correctly stored / updated in your JSON file?
-
Congratulations!
If you made that work, you are now close to master routing and the most fundamental concept of every backend.
