TODOs

• Add linter

• Add nodemon for reloading Express server

To Consider

• db/migrations dirctory -> drop table

• Testing

  • create and empty the db after the execution of each test (proper setup and teardown)
  • Properly create test and development environment
  • lines 17-18 of poem.js are stil uncovered
  • is the following jest warning related to the first issue of the testing paragraph?
  • "A worker process has failed to exit gracefully and has been force exited. This is likely caused by tests leaking due to improper teardown. Try running with --detectOpenHandles to find leaks"
  • fake library (i.e. faker)

• Handle 404 not found error types. Why is the depenceny errorhandler not doing that? Investigation needed

• Parse submitted poems in a correct manner. E.g.

  • user wishes to add a poem with two paragraphs (newline in between). Is this currently tested and/or working?
  • user copies a poem from the web and pastes it into the textarea of the .ejs file. does my app receive it correctly? If not, think of possible workarounds (string manipulation)

• Create a models directory and move in there what's currently inside the public/javascripts

• Add buttons for ease of navigation

• Add styling for the app to look alluring

• Possible user stories

  • user wants to see their poems only (User class ?...session, cookies?)
  • user wants see poems by categories
