Feature Tasks

  • create a single resource express API that can handle GET, POST, and PUT requests

  • create an error-middleware module to handle errors and use it in your server file
  • create a cors-middleware module that will allow for public use of your API
  • create the deleteItem and availIDs methods and add them to your storage module
    • these methods should be used to delete a resource (deleteItem) and return an array of id's from persisted resource filenames (availIDs)
  • create the updateNote, fetchNote, and fetchIDs static methods as part of your Note model
  • create a series of note-route-tests to test your GET, POST, and PUT routes
    • hint: you'll want to use the before and after hooks provided by mocha in order to create a test note and delete the note after the test has completed
