Year #3, Week #6 💻 🏐

New stuff we learned this week: 🤔

Homework Plan

• 1 day Monkey Assignment #13
• 1 day review all flashcards in your app.
• 1 day touch typing practice
• 1 day King C reading assignment (chapter 7)
• 1 day King C exercizes
• 1 day Flashcards API Assignment
• 3 days Execute Program homework

King C Chapter 7 Projects 👑

• First, make sure you’ve slowly and carefully read all of chapter 7 of King C. assignment.
• Merge your king-c repo branch from last week, and CREATE A NEW BRANCH.
• Complete the following programming projects (not exercizes) from chapter 3, making a new file for every one:
  • 2
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 10
  • 11
  • 12
  • 13
  • 14 Extra Credit✨ (write psuedocode and extract functions to simplify)
  • 15
• commit your work, and push up a MR on GitLab
• before you slack me the URL, review your own diffs, clean up anything you notice, then slack me the URL.

Monkey #14 (Boolean Literals) 🐒

• Address all feedback from prior MR’s, and merge.
• Create a new branch.
• Start at section 2.8 - Extending the Parser. Work through that section, and commit your work when you get to the section labled Boolean Literals. The first video covers the first segment only.
• Next, work through the Boolean Literals section. The second video covers this section.
• As always, make sure to try to do as much as you can without the videos, but always also watch the videos and update your code to (mostly) match.
• Video link #1, Video link #2
• Submit a MR, Review your diffs and fixup!!, then slack the MR url

Flashcards API Restart

• Create a new folder, initialize an empty git repository
• add an empty .gitignore file, and make your first commit on the master branch
• connect this new repo to a new project on GitLab
• make a new branch so I can see the rest of your work as MR.
• make a simple “hello world” express app that sends back the json {"message":"hello world"} at the path /.
• some requirements/hints:
  • as discussed in class, we won’t be creating a compiled “dist” dir of compiled javascript, we’ll be using ts-node to keep it simple
  • put the main file in src/index.ts
  • you’ll need to setup a tsconfig.json file. Check out the typescript docs for more info, or refer to previous projects.
  • you’ll need to bring in some npm packages to make this work, probably including some @types/* packages.
  • you’ll need to initialize the project with npm as well
  • don’t install nodemon, we’ll take a different approach with this repo. For now, don’t worry about restarting automatically, we’ll add that soon, just manually start/stop your server while you’re working on this.
  • add .vscode/ dir with a settings.json file, configured how you like it — at least exclude the node_modules directory from showing up in your sidebar and searches.
  • add two helper scripts in your package.json — one for running the api server in dev mode, and one for “production” mode. They should start your API on two different ports, using NODE_ENV and your two ports assigned in ~/.user_env.
  • add one small feature — make sure it supports CORS out of the box. To test this, run the command: curl -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: GET" -H "Origin: http://fake-origin.com" --head http://localhost:<YOUR_PORT> — you should see at least one access-control- header. Take a screenshot of you’re the output of this command, and include it in your MR.
• when you think you’re done, commit your work, submit a MR. Make sure you attach your CORS screenshot. And then carefully review your code, cleaning up anything before I see it. Then Slack me the MR URL.
