Create API wrappers - Githubissues

jaicab commented 8 years ago

We will be needing objects and functions that use the API internally. @davidguerreiro, feel free to have a read:

What makes a good API wrapper? http://wynnnetherland.com/journal/what-makes-a-good-api-wrapper/
Good example and explanation in the answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4634583/php-oop-building-an-api-wrapper-class

Creating a RESTful API in PHP: http://coreymaynard.com/blog/creating-a-restful-api-with-php/

You will never need to do any DB handling directly in the code anywhere else but within the api folder. This is the way to go. We can even build apps if we do this properly.

I will be building the JS version and you will need to build the PHP version.

I've put resources up there that refer to both how to build an API and create a wrapper. These two things are different. The wrapper is a library that is based on the API and nothing else.

PHP wrapper is on active development and JS wrapper is done and in testing stage on JS bin :+1:
