Monolithic nodeserver.js (367 lines) made maintenance difficult. Extracted 13 endpoints into separate modules and added missing test coverage.

Changes

Endpoint Extraction

  • Created endpoints/ directory with one module per route
  • Each module exports a single handler function with focused responsibility
  • Main server reduced to 141 lines of routing logic

Bug Fix

  • Added missing readline import used by /GetLineByLinefromtTextFile

Test Coverage

  • Added tests for /TellMeAJoke, /GetFullTextFile, /GetLineByLinefromtTextFile
  • Total coverage: 15 tests across all endpoints

Code Cleanup

  • Removed unused result object in parseUrl.js

Example

Before:

// 367 lines in nodeserver.js with inline handlers
else if (pathname === '/Validatephonenumber') {
    const phoneNumber = query.phoneNumber;
    if (phoneNumber) {
        const spanishPhoneRegex = /^\+34[0-9]{9}$/;
        // ... 15 more lines
    }
}

After:

// nodeserver.js
const handleValidatePhoneNumber = require('./endpoints/validatePhoneNumber');
else if (pathname === '/Validatephonenumber') {
    handleValidatePhoneNumber(query, res);
}

// endpoints/validatePhoneNumber.js - self-contained, testable
function handleValidatePhoneNumber(query, res) { /* ... */ }
module.exports = handleValidatePhoneNumber;

All existing behavior preserved. All tests passing.
