Introduction
You are going to develop and implement a cloud-based application for an inventory management
system.
Project Deliverables
1. An express server that provides basic CRUD services for the inventory collection. The server must be
running in the cloud (IBM Cloud, AWS, Heroku or Microsoft Azure).

Functional Requirements
1. Login/logout
Each user account has a userid and password.
Upon successful login, userid should be stored in a session
2. Create new inventory documents
Inventory documents may contain the following attributes:
I. inventory_ID
II. name
III. type
IV. quantity
V. photo
VI. photo mimetype
VII. inventory_address
a. street
b. building
c. country
d. zipcode
e. coord
VIII. manager
name and manager are mandatory; other attributes are optional
3. Update inventory documents
An inventory document can only be updated by its manager (the one who created the document)
4. Display inventory documents
Show photo if it is available
Show a link to Leaflet if coord is available
5. Delete inventory documents
The document can only be deleted by its manager
6. Search for the inventory
by name
7. Provide the following RESTful services.
Request Parameters Response
GET /api/inventory/ /name/xxx
/type/yyy
[
{ inventory doc1},
{ inventory doc2},
…
]
OR
{}
Remarks Read inventory documents with criteria:
xxx – name of inventory
yyy – type of inventory
Non-Functional Requirements
Use EJS to render all UI
Use MongoDB driver
Display project member information after the login page (name and student id)
Assessment Criteria
1. Your server is required to pass different test cases. Here is a sample test case.
Precondition:
o An empty inventory collection
Steps:
o Login as demo (no password is required)
o Create an inventory document with name = Pen, manager = demo
o Submit GET /api/inventory/name/Pen
Expected outcome:
o The Pen document in JSON format.
2. Marks are deducted (up to 50%) in case of incomplete source code.
