Routes

server.js is the where the server is lauunched. From here, files in /public are served when invoked by localhost:8080/${filename}

index.html will be served at localhost:8080/ by default. Rest all can be reached by localhost:8080/${filename}

All routes

• NOTE: moviePath refers to a relative path from inside of /assets/

Route	Action
localhost:8080/	Serves index.html
localhost:8080/movieList	Serves movieList.json
localhost:8080/items	Serves assets/404.mp3
localhost:8080/items/:moviePath	Serves file provided after the slash from /assets
localhost:8080/play	Redirects to localhost:8080/items
localhost:8080/play?id=${movieId}	Redirectos to localhost:8080/items/:moviePath where moviePath is movieList[movieId].moviePath
localhost:8080/add	⚠️ To be implemented. Should add unique movieId, movieTitle, moviePath, ... to movieList.json
localhost:8080/*	Serves generic 404 text

Pages

style.css is the only css file for both index.html and player.html

index.html

index.html is linked to index.js

index.js fetches movie details from localhost:8080/movieList and each movieId is displayed with it's title in an anchor tag <a> with href="/player.html?id=${movieId}"

player.html

player.html is linked to player.js

Contains a video player which has a source tag <source>

player.js fetches movie details from localhost:8080/movieList and gets the metadata like movieTitle, moviePath, subtitles and audioTracks (To be implemented)

player.js changes the src attribute of <source> to /play?id=${movieId} which in turn redirects to localhost:8080/items/${movieId}. Refer Routes

Aight! Your turn now!
