Notes

General

• Full CRUD is implemented for employee model
• Most of the field for the employee model are option-based (selected from a pick list)
• Limitations:
  • no integration testing
  • no linting (Used IDE formatting)
  • ideally should be containerized for ease of portability

Frontend

• see src folder under the project root
• components are styled using styled-components
  • css is self-contained in each component
• The employee list and form is broken into container and view
  • container holds state and core logic
  • view has presentation elements and logic
• used basic HTML form validation
• Limitation: transaction success/failure is not implemented

Backend

• see server folder under the project root
• controller holds request/response processing logic
• dal holds data access code to MySQL DB
• route holds express routes
• setting up the db:
  • run the server/setup.sql on your local MySQL to setup DB
  • modify server/dbconfig.js to value specific to your machine
• using morgan middleware for logging api requests
