Create User

We've written the SQL query, now it's time to write the API handler that will allow users to create a new user.

Assignment

Add a new endpoint to your server POST /api/users that allows users to be created
1. It accepts an email as JSON in the request body.
2. It returns the new user's ID, email, and timestamps in the response body.

Request:

{
  "email": "[email protected]"
}

Response:

HTTP 201 Created

{
  "id": "50746277-23c6-4d85-a890-564c0044c2fb",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "createdAt": "2021-07-07T00:00:00Z",
  "updatedAt": "2021-07-07T00:00:00Z"
}

Update the POST /admin/reset endpoint to delete all users in the database (but don't mess with the schema).
1. Add a new query for this.
2. Add a new value to your .env file called PLATFORM and set it equal to "dev".
3. Read PLATFORM into your apiConfig.
4. If PLATFORM isn't equal to "dev", return a 403 Forbidden.

This ensures that this extremely dangerous endpoint can only be accessed in a local development environment.

Run and submit the CLI tests.
