FS Sample Application

Please use the @TODO to find the things we are wanting you to complete

Tasks

• Make an area where someone can add books they've bought.
  • Books need a title, author, blurb, status (not started, started, finished, retired).
  • Need a list of current books paginated, and a way to add/edit/remove books
• Make an api route where someone can get their books (needs to be filtered by current status only)
• Make an api route where someone can get the details of 1 book by id

Installation

• Update composer, as I've added a package for Enum's.
• Run php artisan migrate --seed. This will generate dummy/fake data for Books.

TODO

• Add tests
• Using of token guard needs registration and login. Check below my suggestion:

My suggestion

Instead of using User credentials, if we use request params to generate authorization key, then the API will be accessible publicly.

• Create an endpoint
  • for auth key generation based on request params. This also stores the request params in serialised format along with the generated token in database.
  • By default we store the token validity in the above table as well, which means the generated token has a expiry of certain time. Once it's expired, then any requests will get a new token.
