GET: API is working
#[get("/")]
async fn baseapi() -> impl Responder {
HttpResponse::Ok().json(ApiInfo {
endpoint: "/",
message: "GET: API is working"
})
}
POST: Created new resource
#[post("/")]
async fn postapi() -> impl Responder {
HttpResponse::Ok().json(ApiInfo {
endpoint: "/",
message: "POST: Created new resource"
})
}
PATCH: Updated existing resource
#[patch("/")]
async fn patchapi() -> impl Responder {
HttpResponse::Ok().json(ApiInfo {
endpoint: "/",
message: "PATCH: Updated existing resource"
})
}
DELETE: Removed resource
#[delete("/")]
async fn deleteapi() -> impl Responder {
HttpResponse::Ok().json(ApiInfo {
endpoint: "/",
message: "DELETE: Removed resource"
})
