Anonymous message board microservice

View the source on GitHub or Glitch.

I created this microservice as a requirement for my freeCodeCamp Information Security and Quality Assurance Certification, using Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Chai, and Helmet. The front end API tests on the home page also use Bootstrap, jQuery, and highlight.js.

You can read the functional tests I wrote on GitHub or Glitch. To run the tests yourself, create a MongoDB database, fork/remix this project, create a .env file with DB="{your MongoDB connection string}" and NODE_ENV="test", start the server, and look at the server console logs.

This project fulfills the following user stories:

1. Only allow your site to be loading in an iframe on your own pages.
2. Do not allow DNS prefetching.
3. Only allow your site to send the referrer for your own pages.
4. I can POST a thread to a specific message board by passing form data text and delete_password to /api/threads/{board}. (Recomend res.redirect to board page /b/{board}) Saved will be _id, text, created_on (date&time), bumped_on (date&time, starts same as created_on), reported (boolean), delete_password, & replies (array).
5. I can POST a reply to a thead on a specific board by passing form data text, delete_password, & thread_id to /api/replies/{board} and it will also update the bumped_on date to the comment's date. (Recomend res.redirect to thread page /b/{board}/{thread_id}) In the thread's replies array will be saved _id, text, created_on, delete_password, & reported.
6. I can GET an array of the most recent 10 bumped threads on the board with only the most recent 3 replies from /api/threads/{board}. The reported and delete_password fields will not be sent.
7. I can GET an entire thread with all its replies from /api/replies/{board}?thread_id={thread_id}. Also hiding the same fields.
8. I can delete a thread completely if I send a DELETE request to /api/threads/{board} and pass along the thread_id & delete_password. (Text response will be "incorrect password" or "success")
9. I can delete a post (just changing the text to "[deleted]") if I send a DELETE request to /api/replies/{board} and pass along the thread_id, reply_id, & delete_password. (Text response will be "incorrect password" or "success")
10. I can report a thread and change its reported value to true by sending a PUT request to /api/threads/{board} and passing along the thread_id. (Text response will be "success")
11. I can report a reply and change its reported value to true by sending a PUT request to /api/replies/{board} and passing along the thread_id & reply_id. (Text response will be "success")
12. Complete functional tests that wholly test routes and pass.
