API

This is a draft for the API.

REST resource

{
    "id": 1,
    "description": "Writing Without Bullshit book",
}

Internally, the resource will have an owner and date information from when the wish was first created.

{
    "id": 1,
    "owner": "seb",
    "description": "Writing Without Bullshit book",
}

REST routes

{
  "GET /api/wishes": {
    "desc": "returns all wishes",
    "response": "200 application/json",
    "data": [{}, {}, {}]
  },

  "GET /api/wishes/:id": {
    "desc": "returns a wish respresented by its id",
    "response": "200 application/json",
    "data": {}
  },

  "POST /api/wishes": {
    "desc": "create and returns a new wish using the posted object",
    "response": "201 application/json",
    "data": {}
  },

  "PUT /api/wishes/:id": {
    "desc": "updates and returns a wish with the posted update object",
    "response": "200 application/json",
    "data": {}
  },

  "DELETE /api/wishes/:id": {
    "desc": "deletes and returns the matching wish",
    "response": "200 application/json",
    "data": {}
  }
}
