🚀 Module 2: Introduction to DevSpaces

Technology Stack:

• Quarkus
• DevSpaces

🎯 Scenario

Inside your workspace is a very simple Quarkus Application. The application returns a “hello world” based on the language you choose for it.

The country is based on a 2-letter country code.
For example, countrycode=IT will output “ciao mondo” (IT is for Italy).

You can find all the mappings in the translate.json file, located in your resources folder.
There is also a timestamp after the “hello world” message.

🧩 Challenge

• Format the hello timestamp to use Eastern Standard Time (New York time)
• Format the hello timestamp to display as {HH:MM MM/DD/YYYY}
• Write a test case that verifies both the timezone and the new date format
• Append a query string to take an argument for the country code (e.g., /api/query?countryCode=en) and set the API to return the correct greeting based on the country used in the query string
• Add an /api/magic8 endpoint that returns a random country code (like a magic 8-ball) and returns a random hello world greeting
• Write additional tests for /api/query and /api/magic8
• Add an additional endpoint for /api/query which functions the same but uses POST instead; use curl to test
