App Intro

App Demo

This is the backend for Bookshelf. I recommend you play around with it a little bit to get an idea of the kind of data we're dealing with here.

Data Model

  • User

    • id: string
    • username: string

  • List Item

    • id: string
    • bookId: string
    • ownerId: string
    • rating: number (-1 is no rating, otherwise it's 1-5)
    • notes: string
    • startDate: number (Date.now())
    • finishDate: number (Date.now())

For convenience, our we return a book object on each list item which is the book it's associated to. You're welcome frontend folks!

/me wishes we could use GraphQL

  • Book

    • id: string
    • title: string
    • author: string
    • coverImageUrl: string
    • pageCount: number
    • publisher: string
    • synopsis: string

Emoji

  • Kody the Koala Bear 🐨 "Do this"
  • Marty the Money Bag 💰 "Here's a hint"
  • Hannah the Hundred 💯 "Extra Credit"
  • Olivia the Owl 🦉 "Pro-tip"
  • Dominic the Document 📜 "Docs links"
  • Berry the Bomb 💣 "Remove this code"
  • Alfred the Alert 🚨 "Extra helpful in test errors"

Exercises

Here are the kinds of files you'll be working with:

  • src/**/__tests__/[title].md: Background, Exercise Instructions, Extra Credit
