backend folder:

To run:

  • cd AWSQUIZ/backend

  • npm install

  • npm start

To run in developer mode which restarts server on file save:

  • npm run serve (instead of npm start)

Structure app.js->route.js->controller.js->service.js->db.js

Contrived file names to make it easy to follow
Note these would be folders of same name in actual app
Great blog post on express api structure below
https://www.coreycleary.me/project-structure-for-an-express-rest-api-when-there-is-no-standard-way

Files:

app.js - run backend server
route.js - direct endpoint calls to controller
controller.js - strip out request data -> validate it -> call service
service.js - business logic (maybe better to validate here) -> shape data -> call db
db.js - calls to backend storage (services.json) change to any backend storage

  • cd AWSQUIZ/frontend

  • npm install

follow simple game at localhost:4000

generateGameQuestions folder:

not necessary to run game - I just wrote to build json questions

Files:

aws.txt - list of AWS services and descriptions by catagory
aws.json - json format created by app.js. used for backend as services.json
app.js - parses aws.txt -> creates aws.json
