server - Node.js Technical Test

Build a node server which:

• Serves up the SPA
• Server renders the SPA to support non-JS clients
• Saves user inputed data to the server as they switch between form fields
• Saves completed form data on user submission
• On page reload, populates the form fields with the values previous saved
• Is stateless, to support auto-scaling

get /: return SPA as html
get /:userId: return user data as JSON
post /update: store input data to session
post /submit: store complete form data to db (JSON file based storage)

Environment

• node v16.13.2
• yarn v1.22.17
• macOS Monterey v12.1
