#Expressjs basics

##Summary

Basic routing, validation, middleware, error handling and redirection.

##Goal

Implement express app with the following endpoints:

POST /dog
    when request is ok
        should respond with posted entity including generated id
        should be possible to retrieve that dog by id
    when payload is too large
        should respond with 413 status code
    when name is missing
        should respond with 400 status code
    when name is empty string
        should respond with 400 status code
    when name is 11 characters long
        should respond with 400 status code
    when owner is a number
        should respond with 400 status code
    when createDate is negative number
        should respond with 400 status code
    when owner is missing
        should respond with 200 status code
    when posting dog with id not found in db
        should respond 404 status code
    when authentication token is invalid
        should respond with 401
    when authorization header is invalid
        should respond with 401
    when authorization header is missing
        should respond with 401
    when not connected to DB
        should respond with 500
GET /dog/:id
    when asking for non-existing id
        should respond with 404 status code
    when authentication token is invalid
        should respond with 401
    when authorization header is invalid
        should respond with 401
    when authorization header is missing
        should respond with 401
    when not connected to DB
        should respond with 500
GET /hound/:id
    should redirect to /dog/:id

Static content should be served from public directory.

All requests to non-static content must be authenticated using "Bearer token" authorization strategy. Use app/authenticator.js service to determine if token is valid or not.

Maximum payload size should be 70 bytes.

Sample dog JSON structure:

{
    "id": 123,
    "name": "Rufus",
    "owner": "Jack",
    "createDate": 123456789
}

For saving and retrieving the entity use app/db.js service.
