app.js is a surprise API built in nodejs with the option to get random responses according to the params the user gives. There is also an option to watch the history of the previous requests and their responses. The app is based on OOP concepts to improve Extensibility and Reusability. The app is designed in a way that saves code duplication by using abstraction and polymorphism in the surprises objects construction. There's also an outer JSON file to save the requests history to improve Reliability.
