Welcome to the paired programming exercise! In this task, you will be building a RESTful API to manage person data. The API should support basic CRUD operations, authentication, and include unit tests.
Define the schema for person data with the following fields:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Date of Birth
- Email Address
Create an authentication route that allows users to log in. You will need to:
- Implement a login route that issues a JWT token.
- Implement middleware to protect the other routes, requiring a valid JWT token.
Implement the following routes:
- POST
/persons: Create a new person. - GET
/persons: Retrieve a list of all persons. - GET
/persons/:id: Retrieve a specific person by ID. - PUT
/persons/:id: Update a specific person by ID. - DELETE
/persons/:id: Delete a specific person by ID.
All routes except login should require authentication.
Write unit tests to cover both success and failure scenarios for the above routes. Use Jest or another testing framework of your choice.
Please include meaningful inline comments in your code to explain the logic and any decisions made.
