API Mini Project Guidelines

Today, we'll be building out a small Rails API with a parner! Remember to use pairing best practices as you go through the assignment.

Before you start coding...

1. Map out your domain model and associations. Choose a belongs_to/has_many or a many-to-many relationship with two models with one join model.

Getting Started

1. Create your new Rails API application without the default test framework. rails new my-pokemon-api --api -T
2. Add the gems you'll need (ActiveModelSerializer, Rack Cors).
3. Setup you app to accept requests from other places using CORS by un-commenting the file in config/initializers/cors.rb

Project Requirements

1. Build out full CRUD actions for one of your resources.
2. Requests should be namespaced under v1. For example, /api/v1/pokemon should render JSON data off all the Pokemon.
3. Use serializers to only send back reasonable data. For example, created_at and updated_at should probably not be included.
