An example versioned Rails API

Rails Versioned API Example

This is an example of establishing API versioning on top of an existing, unversioned Rails API.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repo

   $ git clone [e-mail]:iamvery/rails-api-example.git
   $ cd rails-api-example
   

2. Install dependencies

   $ bundle install
   

3. Watch the specs pass

   $ bin/rspec
   ... 0 failures
   

Initial implementation

The initial, unversioned implementation is at https://github.com/iamvery/rails-api-example/tree/initial-api-implementation. From there the commits incrementally add versioning to the API using HTTP accept headers with a vendor internet media type.

What's interesting?

There are few suite spots in this repo (see what I did there?)

• Articles v1 controller
• Articles v2 controller
• Endpoints specs
• Routes
• API Route Constraint
