Express Testing Lab

Today, you will be adding automated testing to an Express API. You should have tests for each of the endpoints:

• GET /gifs which will list out all gifs
• GET /gifs/:id which will get a gif with a specific ID
• POST /gifs which will add a new gif and return that new gif
• PUT gifs/:id which will update a gif and return that gif
• DELETE gifs/:id which will delete a gif

Since this is an API do not add views and jsx and also use res.json instead of res.render render is for view engines and server side rendering, and res.json is for returning json for an api.

Also do not use express.urlencoded use express.json as your middleware.

You can also use postman.

Remember API ====> JSON, SERVER-SIDE-RENDERED HTML =====> Some View Engine (EJS, JSX, Handlebars, PUG) etc

same code your used to see index route below

app.get('/gifs', async (req, res) => {
  try{
    const gifs = await Gif.find({})
    res.json(gifs)
  }catch(error){
    res.status(200).json({ message: error.message })
  }
})
