Assignment 1: Create a basic HTTP server (due 1/6/2016)

[nhunzaker]

What we are building

In this assignment you will create your first web server using hapi.

First, we need some basic structure: a lib folder, a test folder, a package.json file, and an initial index.js. Since we will be using hapi, we need to include that in the project dependencies.

Place all of these files within a named folder under submissions. Your file structure will probably look something like this:

root
└── submissions
    └── nhunzaker
        ├── lib
        │   ├── index.js
        ├── package.json
        └── test

Second, create a basic hapi server on port 8000 which responds to /version requests and replies with a simple { "version": "0.0.1" } JSON payload. The version in the response should come from the package.json file.

For testing, consider using one of the following:

• Hapi Lab
• Mocha

  Acceptance criteria

  1. The server delivers the proper payload when running curl -s http://localhost:8000/version
  2. project is testable via npm test and runnable via npm start
     • checkout npm scripts
  3. 100% test coverage. You can do it! Checkout lab's coverage utilities or try setting up istanbul with mocha

     Submission Details

Fork this repo and submit a pull request for discussion. This is so that we can keep all discussion in a single location while still allowing you to maintain your own project choices.
