Final Project

For the final project, you will build a Laravel app and a Node API on whatever interests you. Here are the requirements:

Database

Design and build a SQLite database with at least 3 tables having relationships (one to one, one to many, many to many, etc). Please include a schema similar to this one, where you specify the tables, their columns, and how columns relate. You can either draw this out on paper or whiteboard and take a picture of it, or use some other software. Please put this pic on your README.md.

Part 1: Server-Rendered Web Application with Laravel

Build a server-rendered application using Laravel and the database you have built. This application should have:

At least 4 GET routes
At least 2 POST routes
Data validation with Laravel's Validator
Error messages as flash data for when form submissions fail validation
Form submissions that fail validation should repopulate the form with the user's input
Authentication
Use of Blade templating and Blade layouts
The title tag for each page should be unique and contain meaningful data. This includes pages with different data. For example, on Amazon, the title of a product page is different for every product listed.
Use of Eloquent or the Query Builder for database access
Pages where user(s) can create, edit, and delete data. For example, maybe you have an admin section where the logged in user can create, edit, and delete data that regular users cannot.
Consistent layout / theming. It doesn't have to be fancy, but the site/app should look organized and presentable. Feel free to use Bootstrap if you'd like.

Part 2: Node API

You will also build an API for your database using Node. This API should:

Have 5 different routes using the following HTTP methods
- 2 GET endpoints (one endpoint for a collection of resources and another endpoint for a single resource)
- 1 POST
- 1 PATCH
- 1 DELETE
Endpoints that have a response body should be JSON
POST and PATCH requests should have validation. If validation fails, the response should return a 422 HTTP status code with the body containing the validation errors
The GET request for a single resource and the DELETE request should respond with a 404 HTTP status code and an empty response body if the resource doesn't exist.
The DELETE request should not result in any orphaned records. An orphaned record is a record whose foreign key value references a non-existent primary key value.
Use Sequelize for database access
Use dotenv for sensitive data like API keys and credentials

Part 3: Testing and Continuous Integration (CI)

API tests for each of the 5 endpoints in Part 2. If an API has branching logic, there should be separate tests for each condition. For example, let's say you have GET /posts/:id. For this endpoint, you should have one test that verifies the happy path, where a 200 status code and a post resource is returned. You should also have a second test that verifies a 404 status is returned if a user requests a post that does not exist.
At least 5 unit tests
Enable Travis CI for your repository
Create a README.md file in your API repo and add the Travis CI status badge to it

Other Things You Can Do

If you'd like to add real-time functionality to your app with Web Sockets in Node.js, you can do that and skip out on the PATCH and DELETE API endpoints in Part 2 and the corresponding API tests for those endpoints. If you choose to do this, your feature shouldn't be the same as the class or lab example, unless extensively modified or implemented more robustly.
You're welcome to use NoSQL and MongoDB for your database instead of SQLite. You will need to figure out how to host this though.

Other Requirements

All code should be nicely formatted. Points will be deducted for sloppy code.
I will take into account your application's complexity. You will not get full credit by doing the bare minimum.

Submission

Send a single email to the TA and myself on the project due date containing the following:

A link to your Laravel repo and a link to your Node repo. These apps should not be in the same repo.
The URL to your deployed Laravel app
The URL to your deployed Node API
A YouTube link to a screencast where you demo all parts of your project and explain where you fulfilled each requirement. This video should have audio. Please keep this video under 10 minutes.
