This is a simple Node.js application that uses the Nunjucks template engine to render HTML views. The app is set up with an Express server and responds to GET requests on the root route (/) by rendering an index.html template and passing form data which persisted in a Mongo database. The template uses server side validation to validate the form entries using express validator and displays the error messages to the user.
Note: The application uses a thrird party api (getCountries)[https://restcountries.com/v3.1/region/europe] to load the countries dropdown in the form, sometimes could take a long time to load based on the performance of the API.
- Node.js (v10 or higher)
- npm (v6 or higher)
The app uses the following dependencies: Express - A minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework. Express-validator - A class validation framework Bootstrap - A CSS framework Nunjucks - A powerful template engine for JavaScript. Mocha - A feature-rich JavaScript test framework. Chai - A BDD/TDD assertion library for Node.js and the browser. Supertest - A library for testing Node.js HTTP servers using a fluent API. Axios - A promise-based HTTP client for Node.js and the browser.

git clone https://github.com/phoenixscript/node-nunjucks-mongo-ss.gitNavigate into the project directory.
cd node-nunjucks-mongo-ssInstall the necessary dependencies.
npm installStart the app
node src/app.jsOpen your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3001 to see the app in action.
The app can be tested using Supertest, Mocha, and Chai. To run the tests, navigate into the test directory and run the following command:
npm run testsNote: As some of the test depends on 3rd party getCountries API if the API fails would fail some of the POST / test. There is a timeout set for test of 20000ms set for waiting for theh API to resolve in case of delays.
