2.1 API Endpoints, Section 1 Merchants

[bflanagan138]

You will need to expose the data through a multitude of API endpoints. All of your endpoints should follow these technical expectations:

• All endpoints should be fully tested for happy path AND sad path. The Postman tests are not a substitute for writing your own tests.
• All endpoints will expect to return JSON data only
• All endpoints should be exposed under an api and version (v1) namespace (e.g. /api/v1/items)
• API will be compliant to the JSON API spec and match our requirements below precisely
• if your tests pass but the Postman test does not, you have done something wrong.
• Controller actions should be limited to only the standard Rails actions and follow good RESTful convention.
• Endpoints such as GET /api/v1/merchants/find?parameters will NOT follow RESTful convention, and that’s okay

RESTful Endpoints, Minimum Requirements: You will need to expose the following RESTful API endpoints for the following:

Merchants:

• [x] get all merchants
• [x] get one merchant
• [x] get all items for a given merchant ID
