Image Filter Starter Code

It allows users to register, log into, upload photos and filter an image from public URL.

The project repository can be downloaded from Github:

1. The Image Filtering Microservice It is a Node-Express application which runs a simple script to filter the public images.

Tasks

Setup Node Environment

You'll need to create a new node server. Open a new terminal within the project directory and run:

1. Initialize a new project: npm i
2. run the development server with npm run dev

Testing in Dev environment

I have included a Postman config file with the RestAPI endpoints to launch several integrated tests.

The steps to start the Image Filter Starter Code feature test are as follows:

1. Open the Postman app and import this file integrated-testing-restapi.postman_collection.json (you can see it in the root of the project).
2. You must registry any user. Select this POST: integrated-testing-restapi/Public/api/v0/user/auth valid registration. Go to the Body section and write this json with your email and password. For example:

{
	"email":"test@mail.com",
	"password":"test123"
}

3. In the Headers section you can add this row:

{
	KEY = Content-Type,
	VALUE = application/json
}

4. Click on Send button and the response should be '201 Created'.

5. Copy the token string (from json response)

   Note: you can skip these 5 steps if you use the token shown at the bottom of this document.

6. Select this GET: integrated-testing-restapi/Authorized/api/v0/feed/filteredimage authorized.

7. Go to the Authorization section and select Type = Bearer Token. Finally, paste the token that you received in the previous request.

8. In the Params section you must add a new row with the public URL:

{
	KEY = image_url,
	VALUE = your_image_to_apply_the_filter
}

9. Below I show a list with several public links that can be used for testing:

• https://www.cleverfiles.com/howto/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/minion.jpg
• http://www.personal.psu.edu/jyc5774/jpg.jpg

10. Finally you can see the response 200 OK and the image from URL will be displayed in the Postman response (with greyscale).

Testing in AWS environment

You must use the same file integrated-testing-restapi.postman_collection.json from Postman to start the tests.

1. Open the collection menu on '...' button and select the Edit option.

2. In the Variables section you can change the CURRENT VALUE by this AWS URL override-with-instance-elastic-beanstalk where the application has been deployed.

   Note: click on Persist All to apply all changes.

3. Implement the same test plan as in the previous section Testing in Dev environment

Deploying your system

Follow the process described in the course to eb init a new application and eb create a new environment to deploy your image-filter service! Don't forget you can use eb deploy to push changes.

Stand Out (Optional)

Refactor the course RESTapi

All request of the course is working successfully.
