Fri, March 30

  • Finish Tunely Project (Sprints 0 ~ 3) and review, review, review! This lab is a great reference for your Personal API and future Node projects
  • Finish Personal API and get ready to present on it Monday morning. You must have:
    • GET route for '/api/profile'
    • GET route for 'api/whateverYourModelIs'
    • POST route for 'api/whateverYourModelIs'
    • Heroku link from which to present your front-end (should have AJAX calls to all your 3 endpoints and show them on the page)
    • IMPORTANT: Don't worry about the '/api' endpoint in the directions
  • RECOMMENDED BONUS: Code last night's function exercises again from scratch to practice

Thurs, March 29

  • Finish Sprint 0 ~ Sprint 1 of the Tunely Project
  • Code the following functions in a REPL Submit REPL link in Project Submission Doc, under Whiteboarding Practice I
    • Function called namesWithFiveOrMoreChars that takes in an array of objects like [{name: 'Tina'}, {name: 'Christine'}, {name: 'Terry'}] and outputs just the objects with names over 5 characters like [{name: 'Christine'}, {name: 'Terry'}] (think of .filter()!)
    • Function called nameLengths that takes in an array of objects like [{name: 'Tina'}, {name: 'Christine'}, {name: 'Terry'}] and outputs an array of name lengths like [4, 9, 5] (think of .map()!)
    • Function called getMostFrequentLetter that takes in a word and finds the most frequently used letter – don't worry about ties (hmm, deja vu..)
    • Function called countVowels that takes in a word and counts how many vowels there are in that word (more deja vu..)
    • Function called getMostFrequentVowel that takes in a word and finds the most frequently used vowel – don't worry about ties

Some boilerplate for you to use:

var people = [{name: 'Tina'}, {name: 'Christine'}, {name: 'Terry'}];

let namesWithFiveOrMoreChars = () => {}

let nameLengths = () => {}

let getMostFrequentLetter = () => {}

let countVowels = () => {}

let getMostFrequentVowel = () => {}

// make sure your functions work for these invoked expressions
namesWithFiveOrMoreChars(people); // should return [{name: 'Christine'}, {name: 'Terry'}]
nameLengths(people); // should return [4, 9, 5]
getMostFrequentLetter('Lilac'); // should return 'l'
countVowels('Apple'); // should return 2
getMostFrequentVowel('Elephant'); // should return 'e'

 9 failing
    • Make sure you are seeing the output that says 9 failing!
  • Review the Node.js / Express.js labs we did today. Make sure you are solid on the following concepts:
    • What is package.json? What command do I run to create one?
    • What command do I run to install a dependency like express?
    • What are the /node_modules?
    • Why is it best practice to put /node_modules inside our .gitignore file? (Please Google-fu your way through this!)
    • What is the difference between Node.js and Express.js?
    • What role do routes play in a server-side application?
    • How do I start a Node server? What is the benefit of using nodemon?
    • What is the difference between req.params vs. req.query?
    • What are the 4 HTTP methods you'd use for a server-side application?
    • Why is it best practice to put /api in front of API routes?
    • Each Node route takes in a callback function that looks like function(request, response) { ... } – are request and response keywords I have to use, or "potato" words?
    • What is the difference between res.send and res.json?

  • Finish Kyrel (Part III)
  • Use repl.it as a sandbox to write the functions below – Submit your repl.it URL in Project Submission Doc

    • countZeros – counts how many 0s there are in an array

      • ex: countZeros([0, 2, 0, 6, 4, 0]) // => 3

    • addUpTo – adds all numbers up to a given max number

      • ex. addUpTo(5) // => 15 (bc 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
      • Hint: define a var currentSum = 0; variable in the beginning, and keep adding to it as you loop through all the numbers in the array

    • getPersonSentence – formats an object (with name, age, and city keys) into a sentence

      • ex. getPersonSentence({name: ’Sam’, age: 28, city: 'Los Angeles'}) // => 'Sam is 28 years old and lives in Los Angeles'

    • getNames – takes in an array of objects (with name and age keys), and prints out each object’s name

      • ex: getNames([{name: ’Sam’, age: 20}, {name: ’Charlotte’, age: 30}, {name: ’Dany’, age: 40}]) => [‘Sam’, ‘Charlotte’, ‘Dany’]

    • getDifference – takes in an array of numbers and returns a sentence with the highest number, lowest number, and the difference between them

      • ex: getDifference([5, 2, 3, 8, 1]) // => 'The highest number is 8. The lowest number is 1. The difference is 7'

    • countVowels – counts how many vowels there are in an array

      • ex: countVowels(['a', 'b', 'u', 'c', 'g', 'o']) // => 3
      • Hint: declare a var vowels = [‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i', ‘o’, ‘u’] variable
      • Hint: use JavaScript’s .indexOf() function to test if a letter is in that vowels array (look up how .indexOf() works, if you are not sure!)

    • getPersonSentence_v2 – formats an object (with name, yearOfBirth, and city keys) into a sentence

      • ex. getPersonSentence_v2({name: ’Sam’, yearOfBirth: 1990, city: 'Los Angeles'}) // => 'Sam is 28 years old and lives in Los Angeles'

    • getLongestName – takes in an array of objects (with name and age keys), and prints out the longest name

      • ex: getLongestName([{name: ’Sam’, age: 20}, {name: ’Charlotte’, age: 30}, {name: ’Dany’, age: 40}]) => ‘Charlotte’
      • Hint: Use the previously written getNames() function to help you
