- Ensure no other services are using port 5000 for this test (use
netstat -ltnp | grep -w '5000'to determine if docker has already bound the port) - Clone this repo into a directory
- In that directory, run this command
sudo docker build -t test . - You will now have a docker image named
test:latestif the previous command is successfull, it's time to start the container - Start up command is
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 test, you may need to use sudo - If no errors have been encountered, the service should now be running locally on port 5000.
- GET request to
localhost:5000/should return a JSON object with all the employee records - GET request to
localhost:5000/1should return a JSON object with the single employee record with ID 1 - PUT request to
localhost:5000/1should increase the field 'salary' by 5% which should be immediately reflected in any subsequent GET request - Note that PUT request must include the ID in the URL
- The state of the Employee object does not persist, restarting the app will lose all changes. Next steps would be to include a persistence layer
- Utilization of other HTTP verbs or URL schema is not implemented and will result in service errors, these errors are not handled
