- The goal of this project is to write middleware for the Mongo II: StackQuery project.
- Run
yarn install
to download the dependencies. - Ensure that you have an instance of
mongod
running in another terminal. - Run
yarn test
to run the tests. If you'd like, you can runyarn run watch
to automatically re-reun the tests when you make modifications.
The route handlers for /accepted-answer/:soID
and /top-answer/:soID
both find the post with the associated soID
. They then go on to do different things with that post. To consolidate this logic, write a piece of local middleware that finds the post with the given soID
, and makes it accessible to both these routes. The middleware should respond with an appropriate status code and error if no such post can be found. Run the tests to ensure your middleware works.
