Assignment 1: BMI Calculator with Routing

Objective

The goal of this assignment is to build a BMI Calculator web application using Node.js, Express.js,
and basic HTML and CSS, following the principles of server-side routing.

Requirements

1. Project Structure:
o Organize your project with proper folders and files, including:
▪ views/ for HTML files.

▪ public/ for static assets such as style.css.


▪ server.js as themain entry point.
o Ensure all code follows clean, readable, and well-commented practices.

2. Functionalities:
o Create a form on the homepage (/) where users can enter their weight (in kg) and
height (in meters).
o Route the form submission to a /calculate endpoint.
o Process the BMI calculation in the backend and display the result on a new page.
▪ BMI formula: BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m) * height (m)).
o Categorize the BMI:
▪ Below 18.5: Underweight

▪ 18.5 - 24.9: Normal weight


▪ 25 - 29.9: Overweight
▪ 30 and above: Obesity
o Add a "Go back" link to the result page to return to the homepage.

3. Styling:
o Use CSS to ensure the pages are clean and user-friendly.

4. Error Handling:
o Ensure the application validates inputs (e.g., non-negative numbers for weight and
height).
o Display meaningful error messages when validation fails.

5. Additional Feature:
o Add additional fields for age and gender.
o Provide health tips based on the BMI result.
Submission Guidelines

1. Upload your complete project folder as a .zip file.


2. Ensure all required files are present and functional:
o views/index.html
o public/style.css
o server.js
3. Include a README.md file in your project directory explaining:
o How to run the application.
o Project description and functionality.
