How to code a new room?

Let's say you would like to add an extra room "/rooms/carrot" where the user has to send a "orange" in an input field.

First, you have to update the file data/rooms.json to insert one object.

data/rooms.json

[
  // ...
  {
    "url": "/rooms/carrot",
    "hints": [
      {
        "timeInMin": 2,
        "text": "What is the color of a carrot?"
      },
      {
        "timeInMin": 5,
        "text": "Have you tried 'orange'"
      }
    ]
  }
]

Then, you can create some routes in routes/rooms.js. When the user gives the right answer, you can rely on the middleware redirectToNextRoom that redirects to the next room.

routes/rooms.js

// ...
router.get('/carrot', (req, res, next) => {
  res.render('rooms/carrot')
})

router.post('/carrot', (req, res, next) => {
  let color = (req.body.color + "").toLowerCase()
  if (color !== 'orange')
    res.render('rooms/carrot')
  else {
    redirectToNextRoom(req, res, next)
  }
})

Finally, don't forget to add the views.

views/rooms/carrot.hbs

My color is:
<form method="post">
  <input type="text" name="color">
</form>
