HTTP.POST functionality for SSU

calstatelaacm commented 6 years ago

REQUIREMENTS

In the home page, when user presses the Post button, a form should show up.
Make the form look cool, have it a little transparent over the home page maybe, or make it drop down from the top or whatever you can do. Just make it creative and nice. Own it! (Talk to Deric about design ideas)

(UPDATE: instead, just make a separate html page first. Go to frontend/pages/ssupostform folder and use those files. We will do the fancy transparent design later)

Form must have all the fields required for a SSU (title and description)
Date Posted must be auto generated. Users shouldn't have to enter it.
All the fields are required to be filled out.
Create a word limit on the fields. (500 words max for each SSU description and 15 words for title)
Show an error if user doesn't follow the restricitons.
Make the error dissapear if user is following the restrictions.
There should be a button called "Post it" that user should be able to press (or just hit enter).

(Make sure you finish up to this) (The stuff below this is a bit complicated, you might need extra help to do it. Let me know)

Must make a POST call to http://localhost:8080/SSU/SSU with all the information the user entered. (Look HERE for the API documentation)
Use Postman app to make POST cals to the url first to see how it works.
If the call is successful, redirect the user to home page so that it reloads and shows the new SSU.
Any other feature that you think will be good for this, feel free to add it!
If you can't get the POST request to work, thats fine. Just finish the html and css by the deadline.
