Node.js & Hapi.js: Building Enterprise Web Apps

Set up a basic hapi server for a Node.js enterprise web app, creating a localhost /hello route that returns 'Hello world' and later updates to 'hello from time clock'.

Validate post payloads with Joi in a Node.js and Hapi.js app, defining required date fields, testing ISO dates, and returning clear errors via a fail action.

Learn advanced Joi validation for shift data: enforce ISO dates, ensure end is after start and not in the future, and adjust error handling beyond bail.

Focus on organizing and configuring large apps built from small plugins, using a manifest to glue components together and review the glue API.

Render a ships list later by looping a hard-coded hours array with Handlebars each helper to populate a table of who entered by and hours, showing item count updates.

Configure Handlebars templates with Hapi.js to apply a layout across views, adding branding and menus—using layout paths and manifest options.

Secure a Node.js and Hapi.js app by enforcing manager-only access and exploring Hapi authentication options, including bell for third-party login and basic plugins, note that authorization is not covered.

Update shift records in the database by posting to a new route, then refresh the manager view to show the approved or rejected status.
