Wave 3: Creating Custom Endpoints

Goal

Our task list API allows users to meaningfully use the task resource. Users want to be able to mark a task as "complete" or "incomplete."

We want to design our API so that it stores a task's completed_at date as a datetime value in our database. In this scenario, our API does not give users the completed_at date... it only gives the information if is_complete is true or false.

A task's is_complete is true when there is a datetime for the task's completed_at value. A task's is_complete is false when there is a null/None value for the tasks's completed_at value.

Requirements

The following are required routes for wave 3. Feel free to implement the routes in any order within this wave.

Tips

  • Use the tests in tests/test_wave_3.py to guide your implementation.
  • You may feel that there are missing tests and missing edge cases considered in this wave. This is intentional.
    • You have fulfilled wave 3 requirements if all of the wave 3 tests pass.
    • You are free to add additional features, as long as the wave 3 tests still pass. However, we recommend that you consider the future waves, first.
  • A test uses a fixture named completed_task that is defined in tests/conftest.py. This fixture saves a task with a datetime value in completed_at to the test database.
  • JSON's value of true is similar to Python's value of True, and false is similar to Python's False.
  • SQL's value of null is similar to Python's value of None.
  • Python has a datetime library which we recommend using to represent dates in model attributes.

Mark Complete on an Incompleted Task

Given a task that has:

  • An id 1
  • A completed_at attribute with a null value

when I send a PATCH request to /tasks/1/mark_complete,

then the task is updated, so that its completed_at value is the current date, and I get this response:

200 OK

{
  "task": {
    "id": 1,
    "title": "Go on my daily walk 🏞",
    "description": "Notice something new every day",
    "is_complete": true
  }
}

Mark Incomplete on a Completed Task

Given a task that has:

  • An id 1
  • A completed_at attribute with a datetime value

when I send a PATCH request to /tasks/1/mark_incomplete,

then the task is updated, so that its completed_at value is null/None, and I get this response:

200 OK

{
  "task": {
    "id": 1,
    "title": "Go on my daily walk 🏞",
    "description": "Notice something new every day",
    "is_complete": false
  }
}

Mark Complete on a Completed Task

Given a task that has:

  • An id 1
  • A completed_at attribute with a datetime value

when I send a PATCH request to /tasks/1/mark_complete,

then I want this to behave exactly like /tasks/1/mark_complete for an incomplete task. The task is updated, so that its completed_at value is the current date, and I get this response:

200 OK

{
  "task": {
    "id": 1,
    "title": "Go on my daily walk 🏞",
    "description": "Notice something new every day",
    "is_complete": true
  }
}

Mark Incomplete on an Incompleted Task

Given a task that has:

  • An id 1
  • A completed_at attribute with a null value

when I send a PATCH request to /tasks/1/mark_incomplete,

then I want this to behave exactly like /tasks/1/mark_incomplete for a complete task. Its completed_at value remains as null/None, and I get this response:

200 OK

{
  "task": {
    "id": 1,
    "title": "Go on my daily walk 🏞",
    "description": "Notice something new every day",
    "is_complete": false
  }
}

Mark Complete and Mark Incomplete for Missing Tasks

Given that there are no tasks with the ID 1,

When I send a PATCH request to /tasks/1/mark_complete or a PATCH request to /tasks/1/mark_incomplete,

Then I get a 404 Not Found, with no response body.
