Docs

Part 1: User Tests

In the user-tests.js file, write the following five tests. Complete all five BEFORE you start creating any of the actual api routes in your server.js file. The first one is provided for you as an example:

/users GET all users (this test is already provided for you as an example)
/users/:id GET individual user by id
/users/:username GET individual user by username
/users/sort/a-z GET users sorted a-z by username
/users POST a new user

AFTER you've created all five tests, start adding the api endpoints in your server.js file. Add each route one at a time, and run your mocha tests after you create each individual route. You can run the tests by running mocha from the command line

Part 2: Song Tests

create a Song model in the song-model.js file in the models folder that has the following fields:

artist
title
userId (this should be created by making an association with the User model, in order to keep track of which user submits which song)

In the song-tests.js file, write the following five tests. Complete all five BEFORE you start creating any of the actual api routes in your server.js file:

/songs GET all songs
/songs/:id GET individual song by id
/songs/:title GET individual song by title
/songs/sort/z-a GET songs sorted a-z by artist
/songs POST a new song

AFTER you've created all five tests, start adding the api endpoints in your server.js file. Add each route one at a time, and run your mocha tests after you create each individual route. You can run the tests by running mocha from the command line

Part 3: Playlist App Tests

Add API route tests to your playlist app (or another project of your choice)
