Anonymous Message Board

User Stories:

  1. I can POST a thread to a specific message board by passing form data text and delete_password to /api/threads/{board}.
    (Recommended: 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).
  2. I can POST a reply to a thread 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.
    (Recommended: redirect to thread page /b/{board}/{thread_id})
    In the thread's 'replies' array will be saved id, text, created_on, delete_password, & reported.
  3. 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. Also include replycount (total number of replies).
  4. I can GET an entire thread with all its replies from /api/replies/{board}?thread_id={thread_id}. Also hiding the same fields (reported and delete_password).
  5. 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 'Successfully deleted' or 'Could not delete')
  6. 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 'Successfully deleted' or 'Could not delete')
  7. I can report a thread and change its reported value to true by sending a PUT request to /api/threads/{board} and pass along the thread_id. (Text response will be 'Reported' or 'Could not report')
  8. I can report a reply and change its reported value to true by sending a PUT request to /api/replies/{board} and pass along the thread_id & reply_id. (Text response will be 'Reported' or 'Could not report')
  9. All 11 tests are complete and passing.
