For now, the config contains:
- database "credentials" (safe to commit, it's just the name of the
sqlite file)
- port on which the HTTP server will listen
This new endpoint was so easy to add, it would have been a shame not to
do it. Besides, it makes sense since the reponse from `POST /items`
provided a `Location` header for the newly created item.
The database that was chosen here is SQLite, because it's dead simple to
setup and more than enough for this project.
Please note that I took some liberty with the assignment. I chose to use
a numeric field for the `id` column of an item. This leverages automatic
creation and incrementation of the id by SQLite itself.
This commit adds a middleware function that checks any POST endpoint is
called with Content-Type: application/json. Returns `HTTP 415
Unsupported Media Type` if this is not the case.
TODO: this commit does not check that the payload is actually
well-formed JSON. If the payload is *not* valid JSON, muutaja will fail,
which will result in an `HTTP 500 Server error`.
This initial version is purposely extremily limited:
* `GET /ahoy` endpoint, just to check the server is alive
* `GET /items` endpoint, always returns the same item
* `POST items` endpoint, checks and print request payload, no
persistance
* calling any other route defaults to a 404
