A little exercise using a Star Wars API https://swapi.co/

Goal

Make a small express server with endpoints centered around Star Wars. This will hopefully demonstrate to us abilities to make an express app, consume data from an API, and manipulate that data into some desired way

Requirements

• Make an express server with at least the endpoints listed below
• Use the API at https://swapi.co/ to get your Star Wars Data
• When making paginated calls, limit the response to 10, so you can actually demonstrate using pagination to get all of the data

Endpoints

• '/character/:name' - Returns an EJS view (nothing too fancy) with data about the given character. (Needs to work with at least 'luke', 'han', 'leia', and 'rey')
• '/characters' - Returns raw JSON of 50 characters (doesn't matter which 50). This endpoint should be able to take a query parameter in the URL called 'sort' and the potential sort parameters will be 1 of the following, ['name', 'mass', 'height'] So the endpoint '/characters?sort=height' should return JSON of 50 characters sorted by their height.
• '/planetresidents' - Return raw JSON in the form {planetName1: [characterName1, characterName2], planetName2: [characterName3]}. So it is an object where the keys are the planet names, and the values are lists of residents names for that planet
