Building the Record Views Application

Okay, now that you’ve imagined the equivalent of earning a PhD, let’s get about the business of collecting those view analytics. The button we’ll use to simulate views is already on the screen, and if you inspect the Pug template at code/first-pass/src/app/home/templates/home.pug, you’ll see that it submits to /record-viewing/12345. The 12345 is a fake video ID, but the /record-viewing path is where we’ll mount the application that records viewing videos.

Let’s write that application:

first-pass/src/app/record-viewings/index.js

const express = require('express')

function createActions ({
}) {
  return {
  }
}

function createHandlers ({ actions }) {
  return {
  }
