CS546-Lab 5 Solved

For this lab, you will create a simple server that will provide data from an API.

For this lab, you will not need to use a database.
 For this lab, you must use the async/await keywords (not Promises). You will also be using axios

 (https://github.com/axios/axios) , which is a HTTP client for Node.js; you can install it with npm i axios . You will use it just as you did in lab 3.

Network JSON Data
You will be downloading JSON files from the following GitHub Gists: people.json

Your routes

 When making a GET request to http://localhost:3000/people , this route will return the JSON data that is returned from the axios call to the URL endpoint. You will use people.json for the list of people. You MUST return the data in JSON format.  /stocks
 When making a GET request to http://localhost:3000/stocks , this route will return the JSON data that is returned from the axios call to the URL endpoint. You will use stocks.json for the list of stocks. You MUST return the data inJSON format.

 When making a GET request to http://localhost:3000/people/:id , this route will return the JSON data. You will use people.json Where :id is the parameter that is passed to the route:

http://localhost:3000/people/4c570a2a5f3d-4309-b81c-2f6b36965ecc  

This endpoint returns a JSON object that has all the details for the

person with that with the supplied :id If the ID cannot be found in the Data(i.e. there is no person with that ID), or if the URL parameter is any other data type besides a valid string, you will throw an error. You MUST return the data in JSON format.  /stocks/:id

 When making a GET request to http://localhost:3000/stocks/:id , this route will return the JSON data that is returned from the axios call to the URL endpoint. You will use stocks.json Where :id is the parameter that is passed to the route: http://localhost:3000/stocks/929686a2-dd3a-42c7-a88d-b170e2590252  This endpoint returns a JSON object that has all the details for the stock with that with the supplied :id If the ID cannot be found in the Data(i.e. there is no stock with that ID), or if the URL parameter is any other data type besides a valid string, you will throw an error. You MUST return the data in JSON format.  

Packages you will use:
You will use the express package as your server.
You will use the axios package to get data from the API.
You can read up on express    (http://expressjs.com/) on its home page. Specifically, you may find the API Guide section on requests  (http://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html#req) useful.

You may use the lecture 5 code  (https://github.com/stevens-cs546-cs554/CS-546/tree/master/lecture_05/code) as a guide.

You must save all dependencies to your package.json file
