The first iteration of API improvements in M4 will be pretty small. Just the requirements.
So to build an API using these features is something like this:
You can create a normal controller or create a resource controller:
python craft controller UserController -r
Create your route, could be normal routes or you can use the new resource method which maps several routes to the matching controller method:
resource
ROUTES = [ Route.resource('users', 'UserController') ]
Add the authentication controller:
python craft api:install
This will scaffold out the authentication controller so you can modify it
Call /api/auth with your username and password and get back a token which is saved to the users table. You can use this token to make requests.
/api/auth
The JWTAuthenticationMiddleware will verify this token is passed and that it is valid
