Build a full-stack JavaScript app that is functionally similar to this: <a href="https://timestamp-microservice.freecodecamp.rocks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://timestamp-microservice.freecodecamp.rocks</a>. Working on this project will involve you writing your code using one of the following methods:

Clone <a href="https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-project-timestamp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">this GitHub repo</a> and complete your project locally.
Use a site builder of your choice to complete the project. Be sure to incorporate all the files from our GitHub repo.

Note: Time zones conversion is not a purpose of this project, so assume all sent valid dates will be parsed with new Date() as GMT dates.

You should provide your own project, not the example URL.

  assert(
    !/.*\/timestamp-microservice\.freecodecamp\.rocks/.test(code)
  );

A request to /api/:date? with a valid date should return a JSON object with a unix key that is a Unix timestamp of the input date in milliseconds (as type Number)

  const response = await fetch(code + '/api/2016-12-25');
  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(await response.text());
  }
  const data = await response.json();
  assert.equal(
    data.unix,
    1482624000000,
    'Should be a valid unix timestamp'
  );

A request to /api/:date? with a valid date should return a JSON object with a utc key that is a string of the input date in the format: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT

  const response = await fetch(code + '/api/2016-12-25');
  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(await response.text());
  }
  const data = await response.json();
  assert.equal(
    data.utc,
    'Sun, 25 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT',
    'Should be a valid UTC date string'
  );

A request to /api/1451001600000 should return { unix: 1451001600000, utc: "Fri, 25 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT" }

  const response = await fetch(code + '/api/1451001600000');
  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(await response.text());
  }
  const data = await response.json();
  assert(
    data.unix === 1451001600000 &&
      data.utc === 'Fri, 25 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT'
  );

Your project can handle dates that can be successfully parsed by new Date(date_string)

  const response = await fetch(code + '/api/05 October 2011, GMT');
  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(await response.text());
  }
  const data = await response.json();
  assert(
    data.unix === 1317772800000 &&
      data.utc === 'Wed, 05 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT'
  );

If the input date string is invalid, the API returns an object having the structure { error : "Invalid Date" }

  const response = await fetch(code + '/api/this-is-not-a-date');
  if (response.ok) {
    const data = await response.json();
    assert.equal(data.error.toLowerCase(), 'invalid date');
  } else {
    const errorData = await response.json();
    assert(errorData.error.toLowerCase() === 'invalid date');
  }

An empty date parameter should return the current time in a JSON object with a unix key

  const response = await fetch(code + '/api');
  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(await response.text());
  }
  const data = await response.json();
  var now = Date.now();
  assert.approximately(data.unix, now, 20000);

An empty date parameter should return the current time in a JSON object with a utc key

  const response = await fetch(code + '/api');
  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(await response.text());
  }
  const data = await response.json();
  var now = Date.now();
  var serverTime = new Date(data.utc).getTime();
  assert.approximately(serverTime, now, 20000);
