Starter Code for Node DB 2 Project

Node DB 2 Module Challenge

In this challenge, you will write an API that can be used to manage Cars stored in a Relational Database.

Project Set Up

Follow these steps for starting your project.

• Fork this repository into your account and clone your version.
• Add your Team Lead as collaborator on your repository.
• Create a new branch: git checkout -b <firstName-lastName>.
• Implement the project on your newly created <firstName-lastName> branch, committing changes regularly.
• Push commits: git push origin <firstName-lastName>.

Follow these steps for completing your project.

• Submit a Pull-Request to merge <firstName-lastName> Branch into master (student's Repository). Please don't merge your own pull request
• Add your Team Lead as a reviewer on the pull-request
• Your Team Lead will count the project as complete by merging the branch back into master.

Minimum Viable Product

• Using knex migrations, design and write a schema for the cars table using the specifications below.
• Configure knex to connect to a /data/car-dealer.db3 database using the sqlite3 npm module.
• Write endpoints to support CREATE and READ operations on the cars resource.
• Use a rest client like Insomnia or Postman to test your API.

Specifications

The client for this API is a car dealer who has provided the following specs:

• The critical information for each car is the VIN, make, model, and mileage.
• They also track transmission type and status of the title (clean, salvage, etc.), but this information is not always immediately known.

Stretch Problems

• Add seed data to the database using knex seeds
• Add UPDATE and DELETE operations to your API.
• Write a schema file for a sales table. This table should track information on the sale of each car. You may wish to research foreign keys in order to link each sale to the entry in cars which sold.
