npm run start
# or
npm run dev # development mode

Running test

npm run test

Requirements:

Use the API here
Use the MIT License
- Include the License file in the project root
Use the following packages:
- bent for all requests
- semver for version comparisons and other operations
- hbs to render handlebars templates

The Challenge

Use Express.js to create three (3) routes that consume an API in the following ways:

Routes

GET - /dependencies

This will retrieve all dependencies from the package.json and render HTML using handlebars.

Example Response

 <!DOCTYPE html>
 <html lang="en" dir="ltr">
   <head>
     <meta charset="utf-8">
     <title></title>
   </head>
   <body>
     <ul>
         <li>bent - ^7.3.7</li>
         <li>express - ^4.17.1</li>
         <li>hbs - ^4.1.1</li>
         <li>semver - ^7.3.2</li>
     </ul>
   </body>
 </html>

GET - /minimum-secure

This will return the minimum secure version for each release line as JSON. In other words, what is the highest version of each line that has security: true.

Example Response

{
   "v0": {
       "version": "v0.12.17",
       "date": "2016-10-18",
       "files": [],
       "npm": "2.15.1",
       "v8": "3.28.71.19",
       "uv": "1.6.1",
       "zlib": "1.2.8",
       "openssl": "1.0.1u",
       "modules": "14",
       "lts": false,
       "security": true
   },
   "v4": {
       "version": "v4.9.0",
       "date": "2018-03-28",
       "files": [],
       "npm": "2.15.11",
       "v8": "4.5.103.53",
       "uv": "1.9.1",
       "zlib": "1.2.11",
       "openssl": "1.0.2o",
       "modules": "46",
       "lts": "Argon",
       "security": true
   } ...

GET - /latest-releases

This will return the latest release version in each release line as JSON.

Example Response

{
  "v14": {
      "version": "v14.7.0",
      "date": "2020-07-29",
      "files": [],
      "npm": "6.14.7",
      "v8": "8.4.371.19",
      "uv": "1.38.1",
      "zlib": "1.2.11",
      "openssl": "1.1.1g",
      "modules": "83",
      "lts": false,
      "security": false
  },
  "v13": {
      "version": "v13.14.0",
      "date": "2020-04-28",
      "files": [],
      "npm": "6.14.4",
      "v8": "7.9.317.25",
      "uv": "1.37.0",
      "zlib": "1.2.11",
      "openssl": "1.1.1g",
      "modules": "79",
      "lts": false,
      "security": false
  } ...

Tests

Each of the above endpoints should have its own tests. Use the provided test/index.js file to get started and see below for example output.
- Test Requirements:
  - Write tests using tape
  - Mock http requests during tests by using nock to prevent live requests

# should get dependencies
  ok 1 should contain bent
  ok 2 should contain express
  ok 3 should contain hbs
# should get minimum secure versions
  ok 4 v0 version should match
  ok 5 v4 version should match
# should get latest-releases
  ok 6 v14 version should match
  ok 7 v13 version should match
