These changes add the ability to specify a date when creating a journal entry through the API, or more accurately require it. The functionality is there when using the web but it was missing from the API. The title is now also optional through the API to match the web functionality.
Additionally, I've also standardised creating, updating, and deleting of entries across the web and API controllers. This follows the pattern that is used for activities.
A migration was added that copies the date from the journal_entries.date into the newly added entries.date field, which should be equivalent from what I understand.
For more context, I'm a big fan of Monica and I found this missing functionality when trying to use the API to build an Android client. I've never worked with PHP or done web dev before but this was essential functionality for the app so thought I'd give this a shot 👀 Because of that please let me know if anything is missing or inconsistent!
