Survey Submission API

[Murkantilism]

Create a Node JS webservice to accept Tripetto submissions and write results to database.

Here is sample of the JSON output from Tripetto:

Object
fields: Array(33)
0: {name: "How are you feeling today?", type: "tripetto-block-multiple-choice", version: "1.0.2", slot: "choice", …}
1: {name: "Fever", type: "tripetto-block-multiple-choice", version: "1.0.2", slot: "fca2fe706fe806e2d6da76aa3b11db94f1b48c7b88483f1559c9da0541962ad5", …}
2: {name: "Chills", type: "tripetto-block-multiple-choice", version: "1.0.2", slot: "605bd01e6e45d13d24c62ede47dea75fe288cbca8a9e590b34bc7b31744b6541", …}
3: {name: "Fatigue", type: "tripetto-block-multiple-choice", version: "1.0.2", slot: "b18f61e6f5c7fd6b45723780f3c5a542ec23ccc5bb70e792fb543016d69c619a", …}

Acceptance Criteria

• A new webserivce resource that can be passed Tripetto output from the frontend and writes it to database, parsing or normalizing it first (if needed)

@Murkantilism Do we want to create a separate repo for the API?

[Murkantilism]

@vchu22 I see no reason to, there's already a separate repo for the server-side (here). Putting webservices into a separate repo just further fractures the overall codebase, plus the end state won't be large enough to warrant using a submodule repo.

[vchu22]

@Murkantilism Since the server-side code is written in Flask but we want the webservice to be written in Node.js, do we want to write Python code that automatically start the Node.js server when we start the Flask server?

And I saw the Flask code already has an API route named /create_survey_response. How is our Node webservices going to do differently from the /create_survey_response route?

[Murkantilism]

@vchu22 to your first question - no I don't think we need to autostart the Node server

To the 2nd question - going with your example, something in this codebase needs to POST survey data to the /create_survey_response server route. A nodejs webservice is a good choice for doing that, rather than doing it directly on frontend.
