Employee Records Database

A CRUD application that is designed to add, delete, edit and retrieve employee records using a fake REST API JSON-server. AJAX calls are all made using JavaScript's built in fetch API, with ES8 async/await syntax. The application also includes form validation using Regex. For more information on regular expressions, I recommend MDN web docs.

Getting Started

Ensure Node.js is installed, as it is required to install & run the application's dependencies.

• Clone the repository $ git clone https://github.com/fiosman/employeedb-jsonserver.git
• Install the required dependencies in the project's root folder $ npm install
• Run webpack-dev-server $ npm run start
• Start json-server $ npm run json:server. You can access employee records and see changes on http://localhost:3000/employees. Each record is an object inside an array.
  • Example record:

     [
        {
            "name": "John Doe",
            "age": "33",
            "position": "Teacher",
            "salary": "$71000",
            "id": 1,
        }
     ]

Tools and Technologies

• CSS3/Boostrap 4/Bootswatch
• HTML5
• JSON-Server
• Modular JavaScript
• Webpack (assets bundler) & Babel (to transpile ES6+ code down to ES5). Note Babel polyfills were also used to provide browser support for modern syntax such as Async/Await.
• AJAX
