First, make sure to explore the lab code and see where's what and everything.
You need to implement a RESTful interface that will allow you to send sensor data from a (imaginary) IoT device. Also check out the TODOs:
/api/iot
should display the current data in JSON format;/api/iot
should accept a JSON dictionary containing the temperature / humidity (check the model for the keys / format); it should accept partial data (e.g., if sending just { “rain”: 1 }
it should keep the old values for all other sensors!);
Also implement the get/set functions inside the sensors
model.
To test, either use a browser extension like RESTer (Firefox) or Talend (Chrome) or something else (beware of / check for reviews to avoid installing spyware! POSTMan has gone commercial BTW, ain't open anymore). As an alternative for purists, you can alwayys use ''curl'' from the command line!
