Kanbangular

"The Kanban technique emerged in the late 1940s as Toyota’s reimagined approach to manufacturing and engineering. ... The system’s highly visual nature allowed teams to communicate more easily on what work needed to be done and when. It also standardized cues and refined processes, which helped to reduce waste and maximize value." - via LeanKit.com

Goal

Create a 3 column Kanban board:

• using AngularJS to build the client
• using ExpressJS to build the server
• using a SQL database to store your data.
• implement stretch goals.

Tests

Let the Tests drive your development or write your tests after. The choice is up to you! As for the testing tools use:

• mocha
• chai
• supertest
  • supertest is built upon superagent so these docs will be helpful as well

Adding Middleware to Buzz Word Bingo

Now that you have the endpoints built let's (you) build some validations for the data coming over.

Your middleware will check if the request's body contains the required keys and also make sure that the values at those keys have values and are of the expected Data-type.

Example: POST /buzzword => { "buzzWord": String, "points": Number }

A POST request to the resource /buzzword should have two keys: buzzWord and points. Also be sure that the value stored at each key is of the right data type. e.g. buzzWord key should contain a value of String data type. points key should contain a value of Number data type.

Buzz Word Bingo

About the game

Before a meeting the players are asked to enter words with point values. A player can enter a total of 5 words at most. Once a meeting starts if a word that the player previously entered is heard during a meeting that player can mark that word and score the points increasing their score. Each time the player scores a new word the total increases by the point value.

Welcome to Team Buzz™

Our game has been getting a lot of traction and we need to rebuild the API server with NodeJS to handle all the connections, we need you to create the server using ExpressJS. Our CTO will provide you with the specs below.

const Net = require('net');
// Server is actually this client
const Server = Net.connect({host: 'localhost', port: 6969}, function() {
  process.stdin.setEncoding('utf8');
  Server.setEncoding('utf8');

  process.stdout.write('SGNL: ');

  process.stdin.on('data', function(data) {
    Server.write(data);
