FreeCodeCamp - Information Security and Quality Assurance

Objective

• Build a full stack JavaScript app that is functionally similar to this: https://giant-chronometer.glitch.me/.

Project Stock Price Checker

• SET NODE_ENV to test without quotes and set DB to your mongo connection string

• Complete the project in routes/api.js or by creating a handler/controller

• You will add any security features to server.js

• You will create all of the functional tests in tests/2_functional-tests.js

User Stories

I can GET /api/stock-prices with form data containing a Nasdaq stock ticker and recieve back an object stockData.

• In stockData, I can see the stock(string, the ticker), price(decimal in string format), and likes(int).

• I can also pass along field like as true(boolean) to have my like added to the stock(s). Only 1 like per ip should be accepted.

• If I pass along 2 stocks, the return object will be an array with both stock's info but instead of likes, it will display rel_likes(the difference between the likes) on both.

• A good way to recieve current price is the following external API(replacing 'GOOG' with your stock): https://finance.google.com/finance/info?q=NASDAQ%3aGOOG

• All 5 functional tests are complete and passing.

Example usage:

/api/stock-prices?stock=goog
/api/stock-prices?stock=goog&like=true
/api/stock-prices?stock=goog&stock=msft
/api/stock-prices?stock=goog&stock=msft&like=true

Example return:

{"stockData":{"stock":"GOOG","price":"786.90","likes":1}}
{"stockData":[{"stock":"MSFT","price":"62.30","rel_likes":-1},{"stock":"GOOG","price":"786.90","rel_likes":1}]}
