Lab 12 : The Ride Hailing Service, Part 3

Tyler Calabrese, July 1, 2021 CS 120: Web Programming with Prof. Ming Chow

Parts Completed

I've set up a POST route for my Node application that gives back a list of cars if the correct parameters are given in the body of the POST message.

For the "going beyond" items: I'm now inserting ride requests into a postgres database. I have a path where drivers can send POST requests to offer rides. I'm also using the rides that people have offered for the response to /rides. I'm giving a list of a passenger's ride requests from the route /passenger.json, and a vehicle's ride offerings from /vehicle.json.

Finally, the default GET path "/" shows a list of vehicles currently offering rides, in HTML.

I completed this lab alone.

I used these instructions when trying to make a table in my database. It didn't work for me, but the author still deserves recognition: https://dev.to/danielmabadeje/how-to-create-tables-on-heroku-postgresql-1n42

Time Spent

I've spent about four hours on this lab.
