--description--

Build a full stack JavaScript app that is functionally similar to this: https://exercise-tracker.freecodecamp.rocks/. Working on this project will involve you writing your code using one of the following methods:

• Clone this GitHub repo and complete your project locally.
• Use our Replit starter project to complete your project.
• Use a site builder of your choice to complete the project. Be sure to incorporate all the files from our GitHub repo.

When you are done, make sure a working demo of your project is hosted somewhere public. Then submit the URL to it in the Solution Link field. Optionally, also submit a link to your project's source code in the GitHub Link field.

--instructions--

Your responses should have the following structures.

Exercise:

{
  username: "fcc_test"
  description: "test",
  duration: 60,
  date: "Mon Jan 01 1990",
  _id: "5fb5853f734231456ccb3b05"
}

User:

{
  username: "fcc_test",
  _id: "5fb5853f734231456ccb3b05"
}

Log:

{
  username: "fcc_test",
  count: 1,
  _id: "5fd01a41c5b5cf05d080502f",
  log: [{
    description: "test",
    duration: 60,
    date: "Mon Jan 01 1990",
  }]
}

Hint: For the date property, the toDateString method of the Date API can be used to achieve the expected output.

--hints--

You should provide your own project, not the example URL.

(getUserInput) => {
  const url = getUserInput('url');
  assert(
    !/.*\/exercise-tracker\.freecodecamp\.rocks/.test(getUserInput('url'))
  );
};

You can POST to /api/users with form data username to create a new user. The returned response will be an object with username and _id properties.

async (getUserInput) => {
  const url = getUserInput('url');
  const res = await fetch(url + '/api/users', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: `username=fcc_test_${Date.now()}`.substr(0, 29)
  });
  if (res.ok) {
    const { _id, username } = await res.json();
    assert.exists(_id);
    assert.exists(username);
  } else {
    throw new Error(`${res.status} ${res.statusText}`);
  }
};

You can make a GET request to /api/users to get an array of all users. Each element in the array is an object containing a user's username and _id.

async (getUserInput) => {
  const url = getUserInput('url');
  const res = await fetch(url + '/api/users');
  if (res.ok) {
    const data = await res.json();
    assert.isArray(data);
    assert.isString(data[0].username);
    assert.isString(data[0]._id);
  } else {
    throw new Error(`${res.status} ${res.statusText}`);
  }
};

You can POST to /api/users/:_id/exercises with form data description, duration, and optionally date. If no date is supplied, the current date will be used. The response returned will be the user object with the exercise fields added.

async (getUserInput) => {
  const url = getUserInput('url');
  const res = await fetch(url + '/api/users', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: `username=fcc_test_${Date.now()}`.substr(0, 29)
  });
  if (res.ok) {
    const { _id, username } = await res.json();
    const expected = {
      username,
      description: 'test',
      duration: 60,
      _id,
      date: 'Mon Jan 01 1990'
    };
    const addRes = await fetch(url + `/api/users/${_id}/exercises`, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
      body: `description=${expected.description}&duration=${expected.duration}&date=1990-01-01`
    });
    if (addRes.ok) {
      const actual = await addRes.json();
      assert.deepEqual(actual, expected);
    } else {
      throw new Error(`${addRes.status} ${addRes.statusText}`);
    }
  } else {
    throw new Error(`${res.status} ${res.statusText}`);
  }
};

You can make a GET request to /api/users/:_id/logs to retrieve a full exercise log of any user. The returned response will be the user object with a log array of all the exercises added. Each log item has the description, duration, and date properties.

async (getUserInput) => {
  const url = getUserInput('url');
  const res = await fetch(url + '/api/users', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: `username=fcc_test_${Date.now()}`.substr(0, 29)
  });
  if (res.ok) {
    const { _id, username } = await res.json();
    const expected = {
      username,
      description: 'test',
      duration: 60,
      _id,
      date: new Date().toDateString()
    };
    const addRes = await fetch(url + `/api/users/${_id}/exercises`, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
      body: `description=${expected.description}&duration=${expected.duration}`
    });
    if (addRes.ok) {
      const logRes = await fetch(url + `/api/users/${_id}/logs`);
      if (logRes.ok) {
        const { log } = await logRes.json();
        assert.isArray(log);
        assert.equal(1, log.length);
      } else {
        throw new Error(`${logRes.status} ${logRes.statusText}`);
      }
    } else {
      throw new Error(`${addRes.status} ${addRes.statusText}`);
    }
  } else {
    throw new Error(`${res.status} ${res.statusText}`);
  }
};

A request to a user's log (/api/users/:_id/logs) returns an object with a count property representing the number of exercises returned.

async (getUserInput) => {
  const url = getUserInput('url');
  const res = await fetch(url + '/api/users', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: `username=fcc_test_${Date.now()}`.substr(0, 29)
  });
  if (res.ok) {
    const { _id, username } = await res.json();
    const expected = {
      username,
      description: 'test',
      duration: 60,
      _id,
      date: new Date().toDateString()
    };
    const addRes = await fetch(url + `/api/users/${_id}/exercises`, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
      body: `description=${expected.description}&duration=${expected.duration}`
    });
    if (addRes.ok) {
      const logRes = await fetch(url + `/api/users/${_id}/logs`);
      if (logRes.ok) {
        const { count } = await logRes.json();
        assert(count);
      } else {
        throw new Error(`${logRes.status} ${logRes.statusText}`);
      }
    } else {
      throw new Error(`${addRes.status} ${addRes.statusText}`);
    }
  } else {
    throw new Error(`${res.status} ${res.statusText}`);
  }
};

You can add from, to and limit parameters to a /api/users/:_id/logs request to retrieve part of the log of any user. from and to are dates in yyyy-mm-dd format. limit is an integer of how many logs to send back.

async (getUserInput) => {
  const url = getUserInput('url');
  const res = await fetch(url + '/api/users', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: `username=fcc_test_${Date.now()}`.substr(0, 29)
  });
  if (res.ok) {
    const { _id, username } = await res.json();
    const expected = {
      username,
      description: 'test',
      duration: 60,
      _id,
      date: new Date().toDateString()
    };
    const addExerciseRes = await fetch(url + `/api/users/${_id}/exercises`, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
      body: `description=${expected.description}&duration=${expected.duration}&date=1990-01-01`
    });
    const addExerciseTwoRes = await fetch(url + `/api/users/${_id}/exercises`, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
      body: `description=${expected.description}&duration=${expected.duration}&date=1990-01-02`
    });
    if (addExerciseRes.ok && addExerciseTwoRes.ok) {
      const logRes = await fetch(
        url + `/api/users/${_id}/logs?from=1989-12-31&to=1990-01-03`
      );
      if (logRes.ok) {
        const { log } = await logRes.json();
        assert.isArray(log);
        assert.equal(2, log.length);
      } else {
        throw new Error(`${logRes.status} ${logRes.statusText}`);
      }
      const limitRes = await fetch(
        url + `/api/users/${_id}/logs?limit=1`
      );
      if (limitRes.ok) {
        const { log } = await limitRes.json();
        assert.isArray(log);
        assert.equal(1, log.length);
      } else {
        throw new Error(`${limitRes.status} ${limitRes.statusText}`);
      }
    } else {
      throw new Error(`${res.status} ${res.statusText}`);
    }
  } else {
    throw new Error(`${res.status} ${res.statusText}`);
  }
};
