Poké-MongoDB

You are going to build a Pokémon API with Node, Express, and MongoDB. Your API will allow users to perform CRUD operations on each of the 151 original Pokémon, and power a front-end.

RECORDING

How to Record Your Screen

This document details how to create a recording of your screen.

• Mac
• PC
• Linux NOTE: Recording several hours of screen capture will use a large amount of data, up 4GB PER HOUR. Please make sure you have enough free storage space to accommodate your screen capture data!

Mac

To begin recording

• Launch QuickTime Player from Finder or Alfred/Spotlight.
• In QuickTime Player, go to the File -> New screen recording
• Click the down arrow next to the record button and enable Show Mouse Clicks in Recording
• Click the red record button to initiate the screen recording
• QuickTime will show you a notice in the middle of the screen as show in the screen shot below -- click on it confirm the screen capture and begin recording To check that QuickTime is actively recording, look for the black stop button (square) inside a circle, in the system tray:

To stop recording

Open QuickTime Player by clicking the the black stop button (square inside a circle) in the system tray Choose File -> export, choose 480p quality, and name your video file firstname-lastname-yyyy-mm-dd

PC

Download and install OBS Classic. It's free and open source!

To start recording

Update the following Settings (click Apply between each step):

Encoding	Broadcast Settings
Max Bitrate (kb/s): 192	Mode: File Output Only
	File Path: firstname-lastname-yyyy-mm-dd.mp4
	Video: FPS: 15
Add a Monitor Capture source:

• Right click the Sources: box and click Add -> Monitor Capture
• Give it any name, the default is fine
• Click OK, the default options are fine From the main screen, click Start Recording, and minimize the program.

To stop recording

Simply click Stop Recording and your screen recording will show up at the File Path you specified.

Linux

We recommend SimpleScreenRecorder

Requirements

In addition to your frequent commits, make a commit after completing each of the following steps (marked by check boxes), indicating that you have just completed it. It may not be the case that you have time to complete all of the following steps, but regardless, you must work on them in order (though there is an escape hatch for the back-end if you need).

• Back-end
• Front-end
• Middleware
• Testing

Back-end

Pro tip: Install and use Postman to test your API routes for this section

Using the existing code provided in server/, follow the steps below to build out a Pokémon API:

URL	HTTP Verb	Request Body	Result
/api/pokemon	GET	empty	Respond with JSON of all Pokémon
/api/pokemon	POST	JSON	Create new Pokémon and respond with JSON of created Pokémon
/api/pokemon	DELETE	empty	Delete all Pokémon in database and respond with JSON of deleted Pokémon
/api/pokemon/:number	GET	empty	Respond with JSON of single Pokémon with matching number
/api/pokemon/:number	PUT	JSON	Update Pokémon with matching number and respond with JSON of updated Pokémon
/api/pokemon/:number	DELETE	empty	Delete Pokémon with matching number and respond with JSON of deleted Pokémon

• Connect Mongoose to your local Mongo database in db/index.js
• Create a Pokémon model in resources/pokemon/Pokemon.js and register it with Mongoose as the Pokemon collection with the following properties:
  • number, a unique number
  • name, a unique string
  • types, an array of strings
  • imageUrl, a string
• In insertAllPokemon.js, write a function that can populate your Mongo database with the 151 original Pokémon found in data/pokemon.json, then run the script/invoke the function so that the database is populated.
• Complete the controller in resources/pokemon/pokemonController.js that interacts with your Pokémon model.
• Create a router in resources/pokemon/pokemonRouter.js that utilizes each of your controller's methods. Be sure to handle errors appropriately!
• Import pokemonRouter into server.js and assign it to the correct route
• Write at least two tests in test/api-spec.js that will help assure future developers that the API is working as intended.

Front-end

Escape hatch: If you have a showstopping bug in your server, mock it out with json-server. You'll have to change the structure of data/pokemon.json slightly to make this work.

Inside of client/, implement a single page front end to interact with this API using either Angular or React. There is a webpack config file already set up if you are choosing react - please read the webpack.config.js carefully before starting.

Your front end should be served from Express and should allow the user to:

• Display all Pokémon (with their images)
• Add a new Pokémon
• Filter Pokémon based on their type (but NOT on other properties)

Middleware

Important: You must complete all of the steps in back-end before moving onto this section.

Inside of server/middleware/rateLimiter.js, create a custom middleware function in which you implement rate limiting for your API with the following guidelines.

• Require each request to /api/pokemon to include a User property in the header
• Only allow a single user to make 100 requests per hour
• Mount your middleware in an appropriate location in server/server.js
• Update your front-end to send user property with each request
