API endpoint structure

1. (Joy) endpoint that takes POST requests to make a board - would get a name, description /api/boards. Request JSON would look like the following:

   { 
     "title": xxx, 
     "description": xxx
   }

2. (Joy) endpoint that takes POST requests to add events/gates/transfers - would get a name, description, type, /api/symbols with data sent in the following format:

   { 
     "title": xxx,
     "description": xxx,
     "type": xxx, 
     "connections": [4,8]
   }

3. stretch goal endpoint that takes DELETE requests to get rid of a node, /api/symbols/1
4. stretch goal endpoint that takes DELETE requests to get rid of a board, /api/boards/1
5. (Erick) endpoint that GETS symbols given a board id, /api/symbols?board_id=1, it would be ideal for it to send JSON in the following format:

   {  
   "status_code": 200, 
   "status_message": "success",
   "data": [ 
     { 
         "id": xxx,
         "type": xxx,
         "description": xxx 
         "title": xxx 
         "connections": [3,4] // connections is a list of IDs of other symbols 
      },
   ]
   }

   If no parameters are supplied in the request, it would return all symbols

6. (Briar) Endpoint that GETS all boards /api/boards, returns data in the following format

   
   "status_code": 200, 
   "status_message": "success",
   "data": [ 
     { 
         "id": xxx,
         "description": xxx 
         "title": xxx 
      },
      { 
         "id": xxx,
         "description": xxx 
         "title": xxx 
      },
   ]
   }```
