ABSTRACT
This workshop will cover how to set up your application for doing TDD, and how to expose a REST API using HAPI.js. HAPI is the framework that was developed by Wallmart to support all their API efforts: it’s solid and production ready. We will follow a TDD approach using Lab, the testing tool for HAPI! You will go schema-less with MongoDB, using HAPI.js native tools for validations: Joi. Then, you will learn how to structure your application to write testable and reusable code, without going into the spaghetti mess.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
0) installing node? (if needed, better if not)
1) Hapi.js to serve a JSON, and how to build your API
2) Store data in MongoDB while maintaining your sanity
3) Node.js basics
4) Streaming files, data, and pull-based interfaces

TRAINING OBJECTIVES
– learn the basics of Node.js
– learn the basics of HAPI
– learn how to do TDD with Lab
– learn how to use the native MongoDB driver
– learn how to structure your code into modules, and unit test them

WHO THE WORKSHOP IS DEDICATED TO?
