Instructions

A Web API allows our applications to communicate - request resources and receive responses - over the internet.

For your end of module assessment, you will be writing your own methods for interacting with a Web API.

This Web API will serve a JSON database containing a list of users. Each user will have an associated id number, a First Name, a Last Name, and an email address. You will teach yourself how to interact with an npm module named json-server.

Tasks

1. Create and export a method to return the URL of the server from the SD-12-1: AssessmentServer-Individual project.

   • The getServerURL() method should return the URL of your running JSON server.

2. Create and export a method to print a list of users from the JSON server.

   • The listUsers() method should simply print the entire JSON response, containing the list of users, to the console.

3. Create and export a method to add a new user to the JSON server.

   • The addUser() method should:
     • Take 3 inputs as follows: addUser(<first_name>, <last_name>, <email>)
     • Result in a complete new user being added to the JSON server with a new, sequential, unique id number.
       • For example: if the highest id number in the existing list is 4, then this new id number should be 5.

4. Create and export a method to delete a user from the JSON server.

   • The delUser() method should:
     • Take an id number as input as follows: delUser(<id>)
     • Result in the user matching that id number being deleted from the JSON server.
