Project Background/Info:
For this final project I have created a simple note taking app. The "extraordinary distinction" portion of this app is the AWS API Gateway backed by Lambda function and DynamoDB that stores and interacts with the data that populates this website. To create this API, I followed this tutorial on creating the necessary resources within the aws console to create the API. After that, I modified the lambda function code to allow for note taking functions. The code in that lambda can be seen in the root repository of this project in the file lambda_function.py.
I created four API endpoints. They are as follows.
POST /user: Creates a user from a username in POST body.
GET /notes/{user}: Gets all notes for a specifiec user.
POST /notes/{user}: Creates a note for a specific user.
DELETE /notes/{user}/{noteid}: Deletes a specfific note tied to a user.
There's no true "sign up" for this site. The first page has you enter a username to login, the logic simply creates a new one if one doesn't already exist. After logging in, it will take you to a page where you can see the notes that are stored in DynamoDB and add and remove notes as desired.
I also gained some experience using React Material UI Components.
