This project focuses on implementing Restful web services using simple vanilla PHP.

Scenario

• Build a task list system that will allow users to log in and create, update and delete tasks.
• Each user’s tasks will be private to them and other users will not be able to view them.
• We are responsible for database backend, the web services and Authentication module.
• We are not responsible for the front end or the server setup.

API Requirements - Tasks

• Return JSON response for all APIs and allow caching where appropriate
• A task should have an ID, title, description, deadline date, completion status
• Return a list of details for all tasks for a user using a URL of: /tasks
• Return a list of details for all tasks for a user with pagination using a URL of : /tasks/page/{:page}
• Return a list of details for all tasks for a single task for a user using a URL of : /tasks/{:taskid}
• Return a list of details for all incomplete tasks for a user using URL of: /tasks/incomplete
• Return a list of details for all complete tasks for a user using URL of: /tasks/complete
• Delete a task for a user using URL of: /tasks/{:taskid}
• Update title, description, deadline date or completion status and return updated task using a URL of : /tasks/{:taskid}
• Create a task and return the details for the new task using a URL of : /tasks

API Requirements - Authentication

• Return a JSON response for all APIs
• A user has an ID, full name, unique username, hashed password, user active status and login attempts
• A user can login in on more than one device and should not logout a previous device (Sessions)
• Create a new user using URL of : /users
• Login a user using a URL of : /sessions
• Logout a user using a URL of : /sessions/{:sessionid}
• Limited lifetime of a session access token, refreshed using a URL of : /sessions/{:sessionid}

What is RESTful API

✈TODO

• Add CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing).
• Amending the API to allow you to upload files (images).
• Convert functional parts of the project into to OOPs.
