Getting Started

Simple backend task for Hackerbay, before making any request please ensure you have PostMan installed. GET POSTMAN HERE.

New to POSTMAN ? SEE DOCS

Table of contact

• Login
• Contact Patch
• Thumbnail Generator

Login

To get started with the login service make a request to localhost:4000/login this is the public route from running docker.

Make sure that the Request Body contians username and password. Should look this way

    {
        "username" : "Username",
        "password" : "Password"
    }

The request returns a jwt token that must be added to the Header to access Procted Routes. See Adding Bearer Token HERE

Awesome! you just got your jwt token and you can proceed to procted routes like /contacts and /thumbnail.

Contacts

Now you've gotten your jwt token and must have added it to the Bearer <token> Make a GET request to localhost:4000/contacts, Done? Awesome! this retrieves the pervious added contacts in a json format.

With the same header Authorization and Bearer make a POST request to localhost:4000/contacts to add a new contact. Requet body should look.

{
    "name" : "Nazas",
    "tel" : "555-555-555",
    "email" : "interview@hackerbay.io"
}

Awesome! we've made fast progress so far. Making a PUT and DELETE request will require an addition params i.e /:index this matches the request to particular index of the array of the JSON Data. Your request should be localhost:4000/contacts/1 this matched our request to the index of 1 if we make a PUT a request to that URL it updates that portion of the JSON PATCH. Try it yourself. This goes with the DELETE request to that URL or route it removes that index from the JSON PATCH.

Thumbnail Generator

NB:- node-thumbnail creates a queue of images and converts them asynchronously into thumbnails. node-thumbnail has no binary dependencies --- only javascript.

Because the route localhost:4000/thumbnail you will defintely need to add our to the Authorization Header. Selecting an image should generate a thumbnail. Try doing this in your browser.
