isit-service

Small node microservice answering whether something is a lizard.

Behaviour

• GET /isit/:thing — if :thing equals lizard (case-insensitive), the service responds with the text absolutely yes 🦎.
• For anything else the service responds with the text false.

Install

Run these commands in a shell:

# install dependencies
npm install

Run

Start the server on port 3000:

npm start

Developer mode (auto-restart):

npm run dev

Examples

Query for a lizard:

curl http://localhost:3000/isit/lizard

Expected body:

absolutely yes 🦎

Query for something else:

curl http://localhost:3000/isit/cat

Expected body:

false

Linting

Run ESLint across the project:

npm run lint

Testing

To run the tests, run:

npm test

We have a lot of tests, and they are a tad-bit slow. They take about 30 seconds to run.
