12 - Explosive APIs - Our first API

[RobbleRabble]

Explosion Api

You have already solved the explosion and mumbling katas. The client loves your solution so much that they want you to turn it into an API us on the web.

For this assignment, create a simple API with two endpoints, one for the explosion and one for the mumbling.

Objectives

• Create a simple API
• Practice problem solving

Requirements

• Create 2 endpoints, /api/mumbling and api/explosion, that are based off of the katas,[https://www.codewars.com/kata/mumbling](https://www.codewars.com/kata/mumbling) and [https://www.codewars.com/kata/digits-explosion](https://www.codewars.com/kata/digits-explosion) respectfully.

Explorer Mode

• [x] Create a new sdg-api api project
• [x] Create a endpoint for the mumbling endpoint
  • [x] Create a new Controller called MumblingController
  • [x] This will have one HttpGet
  • [x] The one get will accept a string
  • [x] This endpoint will take the string passed to it, manipulate according to the kata https://www.codewars.com/kata/mumbling and return the result
  • [x] This will return a string
• [x] Create a endpoint for the explosion endpoint
  • [x] Create a new Controller called ExplosionController
  • [x] This will have one HttpGet
  • [x] The one get will accept a string
  • [x] This endpoint will take the string passed to it, manipulate according to the kata hhttps://www.codewars.com/kata/digits-explosion and return the result
  • [x] This will return a string

Adventure mode

• Instead of just returning a string, look into how to return a JSON object instead. HINT: use classes.

• We have been talking about databases in the previous lessons. Let's add a couple of our endpoints that interact with a database.

• [ ] Create a endpoint for the CheckIn endpoint

  • [ ] Create a new Controller called CheckInController
  • [ ] This will have 1 HttpPost
  • [ ] The one get will accept a string
  • [ ] This endpoint will take the string passed to it and add it to a database table
  • [ ] This will return a ActionResult

• [ ] This controller will have a second endpoint

  • [ ] This will be a HttpGet
  • [ ] The one get will accept no parameters
  • [ ] This endpoint will return all the people who have checked in using the previous endpoint.
  • [ ] This will return a ActionResult

Epic mode

• Following the steps here, Learn about and use docker to deploy your API to the web.

Resources

• Use Postman for interacting with your API
• lecture notes
