Goal

Creating an Express server (don't auto-generate). Add routes based on the specs provided below. Some routes have additional requirements for features.

Test your server's routes with an application like POSTMAN or with the curl command from the terminal.

Server Specs

Modules

• some JS server
• something to parse data that will be posted to the server
• something to handle sessions
• a templating engine

Calculator Routes

• /add/34/67 -> 34 + 67 = 101
  • displays the results template [X + Y = Z]
  • /divide/81/9 -> 81 / 9 = 9
    • displays the results template [X / Y = Z]
  • same for subtract and multiply
    • results template is reused for each calculation route
  • Validation middleware
    • all routes must have 2 numbers. e.g. a POST to /add/3/ should return a 422 status code with a message saying that another number is needed in order to run the operations.

Root Route and Questionaire

• A generic welcome message, "Welcome, Human"
• Should have a form that asks for someone's name and favorite movie (or any other question you'd like)

  • form should POST to a route

    • this route will keep track of each person's name and their answer to the question.

  • The user's session should store the users name

    • when a user returns to the / route it will say 'Welcome Back, [name]'

  • There should be a route where you can find a user's answer to the question

    • For Example, "Ray posted an answer to the question: 'what is your favorite movie' which is 'Elevator To The Gallows'", if you go to the route /favorite-movie/ray/ it render a template that says, 'Ray's favorite movie is: Elevator To The Gallows'. The name after /favorite-movie/:user/ help this route be dynamic.
