ascii-art-web

Objectives

Ascii-art-web consists in creating and running a server, in which it will be possible to use a web GUI (graphical user interface) version of your last project, ascii-art.

Your web-page should provide usage of different banners.

Implement following HTTP endpoints:

1. GET /: Sends HTML response - the main page.
2. POST /ascii-art: Receives JSON body with the following data and returns JSON response with the result of ascii-art:

Request body:

{
  "banner": "shadow",
  "text": "Your text here"
}

Response body:

{
  "result": "..."
}

Main page must have:

• text input
• radio buttons, select object or anything else to choose between banners
• button, which sends AJAX request to '/ascii-art' and outputs the result on page.

HTTP status code

Your endpoints must return appropriate HTTP status codes.

• OK (200), if everything went without errors
• Not Found, if anything is not found, e.g: template, banner etc.
• Bad Request, for incorrect requests
• Internal Server Error, for unhandled errors
