Note Taker with Express

Acceptance Criteria

• Application should allow users to create and save notes.

• Application should allow users to view previously saved notes.

• Application should allow users to delete previously saved notes.

Description

Create an application that can be used to write, save, and delete notes. This application will use an express backend and save and retrieve note data from a JSON file.

• The application frontend has already been created, it's your job to build the backend and connect the two.

• The following HTML routes should be created:

  • GET /notes - Should return the notes.html file.
  • GET * - Should return the index.html file

• The application should have a db.json file on the backend that will be used to store and retrieve notes using the fs module.

• The following API routes should be created:

  • GET /api/notes - Should read the db.json file and return all saved notes as JSON.
  • POST /api/notes - Should receive a new note to save on the request body, add it to the db.json file, and then return the new note to the client.
  • DELETE /api/notes/:id - Should receive a query parameter containing the id of a note to delete. This means you'll need to find a way to give each note a unique id when it's saved. In order to delete a note, you'll need to read all notes from the db.json file, remove the note with the given id property, and then rewrite the notes to the db.json file.
