java-restful-api

Setup

• After cloning this database, open the project in an IDE (Eclipse, IntelliJ, etc...) and run the NotesRestAPI.java class. (Alternatively, you can compile and run it in your terminal)
• The server should be up and running at this point on localhost:4567

Testing Routes

• Using Postman or another tool of your choice, run the following:

1. Post http://localhost:4567/api/notes {"body": "Walk the Dog", "id": 1}
2. Post http://localhost:4567/api/notes {"body": "Fold and put away clothes", "id": 2}

• Now you should have some data in there. Now, go ahead and send a GET request for all the notes, or for just ONE note. Here you should see the complete list of notes, then just the note with an id of 2.:

1. Get http://localhost:4567/api/notes
2. Get http://localhost:4567/api/notes/2

• Now, let's delete one of the notes, then we will check the list of all notes to ensure that the note with id:2 is gone:

1. Delete http://localhost:4567/api/notes/2
2. Get http://localhost:4567/api/notes

To-Do

• Create API with POST, GET, GET All, PUT(update), DELETE paths
• Pass in optional query parameter allowing user to search notes by their bodies
• Automatically add in serialized id to each entry, without having to manually enter it in POST request
