Do Something

This week, we'll be working on a to-do based application called do something!

Homework tonight is to create an express app!

In your application

• Create a variable tasks as an array of 5 objects.
  • Each object should contain 3 properties
    • id, integer
    • body, string
    • completed, boolean
• Create an index route that responds with a list of all of the objects
  • send back results with res.json
• Create a show route that shows one single todo
• Create a POST route that allows you to add an object to the array
  • note that this will not update the file, if you exit the application and restart, you will lose everything created in the POST route.

Please do not create any views

To test out your routes, you can use:

1. curl

• curl http://localhost:3000/ # get request
• curl --data 'id=3&body=do somethin&completed=false' http://localhost:3000/ # post request

2. Cocoa Rest Client
3. PostMan

BONUS

• Make a post/put request that changes an existing todo from uncompleted to completed. Maybe render different index view to visualize the completed todos versus incomplete.
• Implement CRUD actions for lists in addition to tasks

Super BONUS

• Using file I/O fake the funk of a database!
