Resource Reading Endpoints: Part II

The video tutorial guides viewers through setting up two endpoints for task management: one for fetching all tasks and another for fetching a single task by ID. It covers the use of Postman for testing these endpoints, ensuring correct responses for both valid and invalid IDs. The tutorial also touches on error handling and hints at future enhancements like authentication. The session concludes with a brief mention of upcoming topics, including updating and deleting resources.

What is the primary goal of setting up the task reading endpoints?

• To create new tasks

• To enable fetching multiple tasks or a single task by ID

• To update task details

• To allow users to delete tasks

What is the first step in setting up the endpoint to fetch all tasks?

• Setting up a POST request

• Creating a new database

• Configuring user authentication

• Using app.get with the path /tasks

How should errors be handled when fetching all tasks?

• By ignoring them

• By sending a 404 status

• By sending a 500 status

• By logging them to the console

What method is used to find a task by its ID?

• task.searchById

• task.findById

• task.findAll

• task.getId

What should be done if no task is found with the given ID?

• Return a 403 status

• Return a 200 status

• Return a 404 status

• Return a 500 status

What is the purpose of testing endpoints with Postman?

• To ensure the server is running

• To verify the endpoints return the expected results

• To update the API documentation

• To check the database connection

What is the next step after setting up the task reading endpoints?

• Implementing user authentication

• Setting up endpoints for updating and deleting tasks

• Creating a new database schema

• Designing a user interface
