Test: Creating an API with Shelf and Shelf Route

Objective

The objective of this assignment is to create a RESTful API using the Shelf framework and Shelf Route library. The API should have the following endpoints:

1. Endpoint:

   • Description: This endpoint should accept an email and password in the request body and authenticate the user.
   • Functionality: Verify the email and password from a provided file in your project and return a response indicating whether the authentication was successful or not.

2. Endpoint:

   • Description: This endpoint should accept an image file in the request body and save it in the project directory.
   • Functionality: Save the uploaded image file in the project directory by name from the user and return a response indicating the success or failure of the operation.

3. Endpoint:

   • Description: This endpoint should accept person information (e.g., name, age, address) in the request body and save it in a file in the project directory.
   • Functionality: Save the person information in a file in the project directory and return a response indicating the success or failure of the operation.

4. Endpoint:

   • Description: This endpoint should retrieve and display all the user data that has been previously saved.
   • Functionality: Read the user data from the file in the project directory and return a response with the retrieved data.

5. Endpoint:

   • Description: This endpoint should delete an image file by its name.
   • Functionality: Search for the image file with the specified name in the project directory and delete it. Return a response indicating the success or failure of the operation.

6. Endpoint:

   • Description: This endpoint should accept new person information in the request body and update the existing person information.
   • Functionality: Read the existing person information from the file, update it with the new information, and save it back to the file. Return a response indicating the success or failure of the operation.

Note: You should implement the necessary error handling and proper HTTP status codes for each endpoint.

Instructions

1. Use Shelf framework and Shelf Route library.
2. Implement the RESTful API with the specified endpoints using Shelf and Shelf Route.
3. Test each endpoint using a tool like cURL or Postman to ensure they are functioning correctly.
4. Submit your code on GitHub.

Note: Make sure to follow best practices for API development, including proper validation of input data, error handling, and security considerations.
