sql-massive-node

Today we're going to make our first full CRUD back-end.

I'll be referring to this mini project through these instructions : https://github.com/DevMountain/mini-sql-node-massive

Setup your server

Get your basic server working. Follow the steps from the mini-project to setup a server :

• Require and setup express and get it listening on a port
• Require MassiveJS and Connect to a database (make a new one, or use one you've already made).
• Add db to our express app, put the massive instance on there and export our app (see the mini-project)

Understand your data

We are going to be working with a single table, products. It's schema will look something like this:

• ID : Primary key number
• Name : string
• Description: string
• Price: number
• Imageurl : string

Create your .sql files

• Create a folder called db and place 5 files in there:

  • create_product
  • read_products
  • read_product
  • update_product
  • delete_product

• Create a working SQL query for each one. You can use pgAdmin to test your queries against the database.

create_product

This query will need to take the 4 parameters defined in the schema and insert a record into the database.

read_products

This query will get all products in the table and return only the name, price, and image url

read_product

This query will take in an id and return all data for that product

update_product

This query will take in an id and a new description. Find the product with the id and update it's description with the new description.

delete_product

This query will take in an id. Find and delete the product with the id.

Run your queries in your controller

• Create a productsCtrl.js
  • Export an object with 5 functions
    • Create, GetOne, GetAll, Update, Delete
  • At the top of the controller (outside the object), get the db object off of our express app (see mini-project)
  • Inside of Create use the create_product query
  • Inside of GetAll use the read_products query
  • Inside of GetOne, use the read_product query
  • Inside of Update, use the update_product query
  • Inside of Delete, use the delete_product query

Create endpoints

• Create some endpoints on express. Create one for each query type.

Sample Urls

GET /api/products GET /api/product/:productId PUT /api/product/:productId?desc=.... POST /api/product DELETE /api/product/:productId

Wire your endpoints up to your controller

• Get any information you need off of the query parameters, query, or body and pass them into your controller
• You will need to add parameters in your controller functions to receive these values.

Test

• You should have a working crud app. Use postman to insert a few records, modify them, query them, and delete them to make sure it's all working.

Black Diamond

• Create an angular front end to interact with your app.
• Use express static to serve up your angular files from a public folder
• Create a single view that can insert, read, update, and delete products.
• Create a 2nd page that just reads the products and displays them in a more pretty way (like Jane.com or amazon).
