Weather Station API

A simple Node.js/Express app receiving data from a Raspberry Pi weather station and making it available via API request from other sources. This app is part of our final project, a separate app was written to create a Single Page App that utilises the API server and displays the weather data.

We employed a strict TDD process for the development of this app. We used the following test descriptions below:

• response status should be 200

• returns a confirmation message
• returns a helpful message if it couldn't save
• response include the Mongo error if it couldn't save
• saves the data in the database for a legit input
• returns an error message if it doesn't validate
• doesn't save the data in the database if it doesn't validate

• returns the posted data
• returns an empty response if the database is empty

• if no initial datetime and no final datetime provided
  • Initial datetime defaults to 24 hours ago
  • Final datetime defaults to now
• if initial datetime and final datetime provided
  • Use provided initial datetime
  • Use provided final datetime
• if no initial datetime provided but final datetime provided
  • Initial datetime defaults to 24 hours before final datetime
  • Use provided final datetime
• if initial datetime provided but no final datetime provided
  • Use provided initial datetime
  • Final datetime defaults to now

Connect to mongo production database:

mongo "mongodb+srv://weather-station-server-zrxmz.mongodb.net/test" --username weather-station-master
