Run npm install in root of folder to install node packages
To run tests, after installation, run npm test. This should run a set of jest testing suites
To run the application, after installation, run npm start. This should download a new version of the json data, generate QR codes, and begin an express server on port 3000.
To make requests, I have included requests.rest, which will work with the REST Client for VS Code. The authorisation token for the GET request will need to be updated after the first /login call to work. Alternatively, follow the below instructions to make requests:
Make a POST request with content-type: application/json and a body of the form {'username': "<some name>"} to http://localhost:3000/login
Make a GET request to http://localhost:3000/getVisibleTables with the header Authorization: Bearer <receivedToken> using the token you received from the POST request to /login
Visit http://localhost:3000/viewTabularData in a browser. This will return a html file that displays the endpoint data in a tabular form. This route is unprotected, and will not require a token
The QR codes will be saved to folder qrcode_output with the tableID as the filename
A Notes.MD file has been included, explaining decisions regarding packages and other aspects of the application
