Topcoder Member Service - Add Additional Traits

In this challenge, we would like to add additional traits to the member profile.

Detailed Requirements

• The requirement is to make the additional traits dynamic so we can add more traits easy. The idea is that a trait will have the following format with the traits property being a JSON object:
  {
   "trait_id": "BASIC_INFO",
   "category_name": "Basic Info",
   "created_at": "2018-03-30T00:00:00.000Z",
   "created_by": 40309246,
   "updated_at": "2018-03-30T00:00:00.000Z",
   "updated_by": 40309246,
   "traits": {
     // JSON object
     // Validation will be determined based on the trait_id
   }
  }
  
  A JSON file with more examples of trait objects can be found attached on the challenge forum.

• Although the traits object will be a JSON object with any format, the idea is to have a validation function for each trait_id so we have a consistent format of all entries with the same trait_id.

• A user should be able to create only ONE entry for each trait_id.

• If there is no validation function for a trati_id the app should return 400 BAD REQUEST.

• Each time the traits are updated/created, we need to fire event to the kafka bus.

• You need to build the CRUD services for /members/{handle}/traits.

• Update the swagger definition in the repo to include the new endpoints.

• Create POSTMAN tests for the new endpoints.
