Assignment: Build a RESTful API using Node.

js and Express (100 marks)

Objective:
Create a simple RESTful API for managing a list of users, testing concepts such as routing,
middleware, HTTP methods, status codes, error handling, and interaction with a data source.

Requirements:

1. Initialize a Node.js project: (5 marks)


○ Set up a new Node.js project.
○ Install Express.
2. Define a REST API with the following routes: (25 marks)
○ GET /users – Fetch the list of all users.
○ GET /users/:id – Fetch details of a specific user by ID.
○ POST /user – Add a new user.
○ PUT /user/:id – Update details of an existing user.
○ DELETE /user/:id – Delete a user by ID.
3. Sample User Object Structure:

{
"id": "1",
"firstName": "Anshika",
"lastName": "Agarwal",
"hobby": “Teaching”
}

4. Middleware: (30 marks)


○ Use middleware to log the details of each request (e.g., method, URL, status
code). (15 marks)
○ Implement validation middleware to check for required fields in the POST and PUT
routes. (15 marks)
5. Error handling: (10 marks)
○ Return appropriate HTTP status codes (e.g., 200, 404, 201, 400).
○ Handle errors (e.g., book not found, invalid input) and respond with meaningful
error messages.
6. Data source:
○ Store users data in-memory (using an array) for simplicity.

Submission Guidelines : (30 marks)

● Include clear comments in the code explaining the logic. (5 marks)


● Test your API using Postman or ThunderClient and include screenshots of the test
results. (25 marks)

Submit zip folder of your code and a document containing screenshots of your test results.
