Install node_modules

npm install

Run the server

node index

Test the API

Available API call

* Create a new report

http://localhost:5000/reports

Make a post request to the server using above URL with the following JSON data as body to create a new report. If report with the supplied marketID and cmdtyID exists already,then it will modify the meanprice and will update the user list

{
"reportDetails": {
  "userID": "user-1",

  "marketName": "Mg road khagaria",
  "cmdtyID": "cmdty-1",

Final notes

• Error checking has been applied to validate the data that user submit while creating a report
• The code follows MVC architecture
• Screenshots of Tests have been attached to verify the result
• mean price is calculated on-fly and is updated when a new user files the report about the same product of market.
