Serverless API powered by AWS.

Transport4 - API

Here is the main URI: https://koiihe2l31.execute-api.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dev

Endpoints:

• post (POST)
• post/{id} (DELETE, GET, PUT)
• posts (GET)

Pass in Key as Header: X-Api-Key provided upon request.

Objective

1. Create a simple "Taco Recipe" REST API.

2. Use the latest NodeJS Framework and Typescript

3. Our preference is an AWS serverless API project built using AWS SAM or Serverless framework. If you are unable to use one of these, a classic Express API will suffice. You should be able to create a free AWS account, and run the serverless features required for an API on their free tier for this exercise.

4. When you're finished, please push your code to GitHub and send a link to [e-mail]

API Requirements

1. Consumers of the API should be able access full REST endpoints for the following actions:

   • Creating Taco recipes
   • Updating Taco recipes
   • Deleting Taco recipes
   • Retrieving a list of Taco recipes
   • Retrieve list of Taco sauces from Spoonacular.com Ingredient API
   • Post Taco Recipe to Spoonacular.com API and return Recipe Card image

2. Taco recipes consist of the following data:

   • Recipe Name
   • Recipe Description
   • Recipe Instructions
   • Ingredients:
     • Taco Shell
     • Taco Protein(s)
     • Taco Topping(s)
     • Taco Sauce(s)

3. The API should use some sort of mock DB and/or caching to persist the Taco recipe data

4. The API should contain at least one "positive" unit test and one "negative" unit test

5. Use best-practice REST specifications, async patterns, clean coding practices, and your creativity and ingenuity!
