NOTE: Run all commands from the project directory.
You can run the project either as a command-line application, or as a REST server.
To run the project as a command-line application, use the cli alias:
clj -Acli [SORT] [FILES ...]
SORT is either:
- “gender” to sort by gender (females first) then by last name
- “birthdate” to sort by birth date ascending.
- “name” to sort by last name, ascending.
FILES are the names of one or more files (either comma, space, or pipe separated) to be processed.
The program will read in the files, sort the data, and print it as comma separated values to standard out.
To run the project as a REST server, use the server alias:
clj -Aserver [PORT]
PORT is the port on which you’d like the server to listen.
The REST server responds to requests as specified in the project description. Here are some example curl commands:
curl -vv -XPOST http://localhost:8080/records --data-binary @comma.csv
curl -XGET http://localhost:8080/records/birthdate
curl -XGET http://localhost:8080/records/gender
curl -XGET http://localhost:8080/records/name
The first will cause the server to process and store the submitted file. The other three will return application/json responses of the sorted data.
