About the project

1. Install all dependencies npm init then npm install
2. Used MVC architecture
3. Used Bootstrap as CSS framework
4. Used Mongoose for database
5. Used Axios for data fetching
   • Handling Errors
6. Used Express JS as Node JS framework for handling routes, request and response
7. HBS for compiling HTML templates
8. SECURING THE SERVER Used Error Middleware as callback function that can detect request and response when called in from client to HTTP server. This secures error paths that can be hidden in browser and customized by using the callback function written.

Testing Error-Handling Middleware

1. Import the function app.use(errorMiddleware) in app.js and add a Throw new Error('fake error message') in any of the routes where the path selected can be used to test in Postman.
2. Add the error messages with require express-async-error in controller. (eg. in albertaController.js, add the Throw new Error in catch error)
3. (Documentation)[https://expressjs.com/en/guide/using-middleware.html#middleware.error-handling]
