Solved–Homework Assignment 7– Solution

Description

1 Description

In this assignment, you will continue to add more functionality to the website you developed in the last assignment. Your task is to upgrade previous assignment by adding a user administration page with user management functionality for adding new users; updating information for existing users, and deleting existing users.

You will also work with XML (Extensible Markup Language) in this assignment. The database configuration for your website will be saved in an XML file and your server will read the configuration details from the XML file and use the information to stored in the XML file to establish a connection to the database. Note, this assignment description has 13 pages (and most of them are pictures to describe the functionality required for this assignment).

2 Preparation and Provided Files

1. The setup for Node.js and MySQL remain the same as the last assignment.

2. The code for this assignment should be placed in a directory named: yourx500id_hw07

3. The code from last assignment can serve as a base for this assignment. Copy the code from last assignment and place it in yourx500id_hw07 directory.

4. You can use any npm module that you deem fit for this assignment. You might find the following npm module useful: xml2js (which is useful for parsing XML and storing it in a javaScript-friendly format.

5. You are free to formulate your own project structure for this assignment.

Note: We have provided the following sample XML file which stores database configuration:

sample_dbconfig.xml

Replace the values in user, password, and database tags with the value you used for HW 6.

3 Functionality

This assignment will retain all the functionality from Assignment 6 and build on existing code.

The navigation bar in Favourite places page and Add place page should provide a menu item to access the Admin page . See the screen shots that follow.

NOTE: you do not need the Home menu item (or to implement a page associated with the Home menu it) pictured in the screenshots that follow.

Notice that the navigation bar in both pages has link to Admin page.

2

Admin page – List Users functionality

• If a user tries to access this page without a valid login, the user should be routed to

“Login” page.

• The page should have a navigation bar with logout button.

• The table in this page should be dynamically populated with the list of users along their corresponding Id, Name, and Login (illustrated in the following screen-shot).

• To achieve this, you could create a GET API on your server which returns the list of users. The mapping between the table headers and columns in tbl_accounts is as follows:

  • Id: acc_id

  • Name: acc_name

  • Login: acc_login

• The client (HTML/CSS/JavaSrcript page) could call the API and populate the table using the data received from the server.

3

Admin page – Add User functionality

• This page should have a button to add new user.

• After pressing the Add User button, a new row should be displayed in the table.

• The Name, Login, and New Password columns of this new row should be editable.

• The should be able to enter the details for a new user (Name, Login, and Password) and then click either Save or Cancel button.

• If user clicks Save, the data entered by the user should be posted (i.e., sent via a post message) to the server.

• • The server should ensure that no other user in the database has the same login.

• • If no existing user has the same login, validation passes, and the information about the new user should be inserted in the following table: tbl_accounts.

  • A row with new user information should be displayed in the Admin table.

• • In case the validation fails, the following error message should be displayed: This login is used by another user, and the information entered on the page before the Save button was clicked should remain on the page.

• If user clicks Cancel, the new row should be removed and the table displayed should revert back to the state it was in before Add User button was pressed.

Note: Please review the following screenshots related to Add User functionality.

Admin enters the details of a new user named “delta” and clicks Save

4

The new user is successfully added.

Admin enters the details of a new user with login “charlie” and clicks Save. Error message is displayed because a user with login “charlie” (id 24) already exists.

5

Admin clicks on Cancel button to remove the new row.

Admin page – Delete User functionality

• Each row in the table should have Delete button associated with it.

• The Delete button should delete the user from the database and from the table displayed only if the user being deleted is not the one currently logged in. To achieve this, your server should provide a delete API which can be used by the client.

• The system should not allow a user to delete a user that is currently logged in. The following error message should be displayed if the user attempts to delete themselves: Can not delete the user that is logged in

Note: Check the following screenshots depicting the Delete User functionality.

Admin clicks on the delete button (trash icon) against the user delta.

7

delta is deleted from the database and from HTML table.

Admin tries to delete the user nayan003 which is currently logged in. The user is not deleted and an error message is displayed.

8

Admin page – Edit User functionality

• Each row in the table should have edit button associated with it.

• Clicking the Edit button should activate edit mode and display it in the “list of users” table.

• You should be able to update the Name, Login, and New Password in edit mode.

• Edit mode will have two different buttons: Update and Cancel.

• Cancel should discard the changes and exit edit mode.

• Upon clicking the Update button, the data entered by the user should be posted to the server.

• • The server should validate that no other user in the database (other than the one being edited) has the same login.

• • If the validation succeeds, the newly entered information about the user being edited should be updated in the following table: tbl_accounts. The updated information should also reflect in the HTML table.

• • In case the validation fails, the following error message should be displayed: This login is used by another user

Note: Please review the following screenshots depicting the Edit User functionality.

Admin clicks on the edit button against the user charlie.

9

Admin updates the values and clicks on save.

Values are successfully updated in database and the same is reflected in HTML table.

An Admin edits the details of user tango and updates the login to nayan003. An error message is displayed because a user with login nayan003 already exists.

10

Admin clicks on Cancel button to discard the changes.

11

Navigation bar

• The Navigation bar should display the login id associated with the user that is currently logged in.

Database Configuration

• Your server should read the values (that you insert) in the file sample_dbconfig.xml file to establish database connection.
