let's write a personal api

what's an API?

what's a RESTful API?

REpresentational State

Transfer

Resource-based service

Constraints: uniform interface

stateless cacheable

client-server layered system

REST isn't going away

server routes

data store

logs are made up of inputs

every input is a time input with an optional text field

Tips

Use plurals

/logs/time-bedtime/inputs/

Short segments Granular resources

/logs/inputs

Mirror backend structure

PUT /logs/time-bedtime_logs.put(log) //pouchdb

Tools

constant WIP
