Damyon's Web Service Project

Web service project for Eleos Technologies.

TO DO LIST

• Decide on a language / framework [JavaScript/Node.js]
• Get a boilerplate server running
• Implement endpoints:
  • (POST) Login
    • Takes in a username/password
    • Returns a user object and a token to be used for verification
  • (GET) Verifies
    • Use token recieved from Login to verify periodically as the user uses the app and ensures that they should still be logged in. Instead of a user/pass it sends a token
  • (GET) Load
    • Returns a list/array of load objects
  • (PUT) Message
    • Message data sent to this endpoint
• Host the API on AWS
  • Complete AWS Registration Process
  • Create an EC2 Instance and upload my project
    • Ensure all the correct libraries are installed and working for everything to run smoothly
• Complete final tests and verify that the API will stay published
