1 00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:07,620 All right, so let's go step by step and probably your first question is why do we go here with our 2 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,780 API and then version one? 3 00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:12,680 And essentially that is just a convention. 4 00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:19,500 We need to understand that on the server, we also might have different routes, not just the routes 5 00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:20,320 for the API. 6 00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:28,230 So, for example, you could be serving a indexed page here on the fourth, meaning there could be a 7 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,369 nice index page that you're serving up over here. 8 00:00:32,670 --> 00:00:37,620 And then also on the same server, you have the API routes. 9 00:00:37,980 --> 00:00:45,480 So convention is effectively just to signal that all of these are the API routes. 10 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:52,230 Now, as far as the version well, as you're setting up the API, eventually you might want to change 11 00:00:52,230 --> 00:00:52,710 some things. 12 00:00:53,010 --> 00:00:59,070 So it's easier if you have this version, because that way when you create a new one, then you can 13 00:00:59,070 --> 00:01:04,019 just direct everybody to API and then version two, three or whatever. 14 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:10,470 And while we're still on that same note, why don't we navigate to a hacker news one to one that I showed 15 00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:17,340 you previously with Algoma, and you'll notice exactly the same setup where essentially they go with 16 00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:22,550 domain and then forward slash and then API and then version number one. 17 00:01:22,830 --> 00:01:29,760 And that leads me to my next point where if you're ever in doubt or if you're just interested on different 18 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,610 setups, just check out the different APIs. 19 00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:39,150 There's tons of APIs out there and you can just look for one and take a look at that set up and then 20 00:01:39,150 --> 00:01:41,880 decide if what they're doing makes sense to you. 21 00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:44,670 Then of course, you can implement in your project. 22 00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:50,340 If not, then just move on to a different API and eventually you'll find a setup that makes the most 23 00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:51,000 sense to you. 24 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:57,010 After that, you're probably wondering, OK, I understand the Apple II and then version, that kind 25 00:01:57,010 --> 00:01:59,590 of makes sense, but why do we go here? 26 00:01:59,590 --> 00:02:07,390 We get and then tasks, then we have the post and the same tasks and then forget patch and delete. 27 00:02:07,630 --> 00:02:13,510 We go to the tasks, but then we're looking forward to going, why isn't this written in a different 28 00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:18,670 way where we're just looking for a single task or something along those lines? 29 00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:23,110 And to give you a short answer, that is a convention. 30 00:02:23,260 --> 00:02:28,000 But since there's more to it, I want to actually cover that in few videos. 31 00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:32,470 So I want to set up the basic roots with just some simple responses. 32 00:02:32,740 --> 00:02:37,570 Then I want to open up the postman and do a little bit of setup over there. 33 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,140 And then right before we start setting up the database, I actually want to spend one video on just 34 00:02:44,140 --> 00:02:45,520 talking about the convention. 35 00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:51,850 And then lastly, if you remember in tutorial we worked with Put and now for the update we're using 36 00:02:51,850 --> 00:02:52,300 Patch. 37 00:02:52,450 --> 00:02:56,710 And I know that this might be a little bit frustrating to you, but that's also going to be something 38 00:02:56,710 --> 00:03:02,080 that we will cover a bit later once we have already a working application. 39 00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:08,650 Because that way, I believe that I can give you a solid example of the differences between the put 40 00:03:08,650 --> 00:03:09,310 and patch. 41 00:03:09,620 --> 00:03:11,740 That's about it for the general root structure. 42 00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:13,690 So now let's start implementing it.
