Move api calls to /api path #118

Closed Davidster closed 6 years ago

Description

Currently all of our backend api requests are performed on the root path of the website, like http://conucourseplanner.online/allsequences etc. I would like to move the entire api to be under the folder /api so the same request would instead look like: http://conucourseplanner.online/api/allsequences.

The benefits

My main reason for making this change would be to make it easier to develop the frontend on my local machine by supplying the entire backend via a proxy: conucourseplanner.online/courseplannerd/api. This is pretty easy to setup with nginx and I would be able to simply run the frontend build command (build-dev) to view my changes instead of having to wait for scp and tomcat's auto-reload to finish.

I also think its just generally a good idea to separate our api calls into a specific url "folder". It separates the frontend resources from the backend ones more clearly.
