#### Code Changes

https://github.com/utopian-io/v2.utopian.io/pull/218/files

##### 1. API

###### 1a. Main Codes

* [`packages/api/modules/users/handlers.js`](https://github.com/utopian-io/v2.utopian.io/pull/218/files#diff-d6583c66110f65c2d8b692c224edbd6f) - these were the API endpoints - the methods that directly interacted with the database
* [`/packages/api/modules/users/routes.js`](https://github.com/utopian-io/v2.utopian.io/pull/218/files#diff-296ff5718c5428b25ef5fbf77616dacc) - the routes that maps the above functions to URLs
* [`/packages/api/modules/users/user.model.js`](https://github.com/utopian-io/v2.utopian.io/pull/218/files#diff-8cfc9557e458a102c58649686a2b0021) - the user model; change in the user model class to include work experiences information (called subdocument in mongo)
* [`/packages/api/modules/users/validate.js`](https://github.com/utopian-io/v2.utopian.io/pull/218/files#diff-cc394e8abc54ccb6d71e7173d3a122ad) - as what can be inferred from the name, model validation

###### 1b. Unit Tests

* [`/packages/api/test/fixtures/users.js`](https://github.com/utopian-io/v2.utopian.io/pull/218/files#diff-78a082d9fdb3e66d3acd3adf318b0789) - test data
* [`/packages/api/test/modules/users/users.handlers.spec.js`](https://github.com/utopian-io/v2.utopian.io/pull/218/files#diff-ee6149cc2f02eb780239edf3de3b3a56) - the specs that test the newly added API end points

##### 2. Client

* [`/packages/client/src/pages/users/profile/profile.vue`](https://github.com/utopian-io/v2.utopian.io/pull/218/files#diff-ce5c3585f3376714a1812bc0c8ff7a7c) - the main profile page; the major component where the important codes were included
* [`/packages/client/src/store/users/actions.js`](https://github.com/utopian-io/v2.utopian.io/pull/218/files#diff-77c4b16544cd36d583b4d2a2b5088517) - the user actions that dispatches or calls the necessary API end points to process user information

##### 3. Internationalization

* [`/packages/i18n/locales_master/en.json`](https://github.com/utopian-io/v2.utopian.io/pull/218/files#diff-0d6c63c97dfee46e060dd990ad73488f) - exported strings for internationalization

#### Lessons Learned

I encountered a lot of challenges in completing this task. First, was my unfamiliarity with mongo API. Although I had an idea in mind of what I wanted to happen, my unfamiliarity with mongoose resulted in code smell. Gregory cleaned that up for me by what he did in his last commit:

* [a9c1067](https://github.com/utopian-io/v2.utopian.io/pull/218/commits/a9c1067c72b5a87fb17f5c994e251bc5e63c39af)

He removed the `getWorkExperience` API end point and just returned the whole work experiences document to `updateWorkExperience`'s response. The key mongoose method here was `findOneAndUpdate`.

The second challenge was my unfamiliarity with flex-box. Gregory just pointed me to use that to adjust the location of the plus icon.

And lastly was my unfamiliarity with [vuelidate](https://monterail.github.io/vuelidate/), this resulted again in code smell and I learned again from the codes committed by Gregory. 

There were other changes made by Gregory in that commit. All of them were learnings for me.<br/><div class="pull-right promo"><sub><p>This post was made from https://ulogs.org</p></sub></div>
