Creating a REST API: Handling GET Requests

ICYMI: After taking a brief detour to create a generic database module, it’s time to continue on with the development of the high-level components discussed in the parent post. In this post, you will add routing, controller, and database logic to handle an HTTP GET request on an “employees” API endpoint. Please Note: This post is part of a series on creating a REST API with Node.js on Oracle Database. See that post for details on the project and links to other parts. Get the code here.

Adding Routing Logic

Express ships with a class that makes it easy to route HTTP requests to the appropriate controller logic. Route paths define the URL endpoints of the API and can contain route parameters that capture values in the URL (query strings are not part of route paths). https://goo.gl/CdDHU1 #DataIntegration #ML

Seamless API Lifecycle Integration With GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket

ICYMI: This is a story, in a series of stories that I’m doing as part of the version 3.0 release of the Stoplight.io platform. Stoplight.io is one the few API service providers I’m excited about when it comes to what they are delivering in the API space, so I jumped at the opportunity to do some paid work for them. As I do, I’m working to make these stories about the solutions they provide and refrain from focusing on just their product, hopefully maintaining my independent stance as the API Evangelist, and keeping some of the credibility I’ve established over the years.

GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket have taken up a central role in the delivery of the valuable API resources we are using across our web, mobile, and device-based applications. These platforms have become integral parts of our development, and software build processes, with GitHub being the most prominent player when it comes to defining how we deliver not just applications, but increasingly API-driven applications on the web, our mobile phones, and common Internet-connected objects becoming more ubiquitous across our physical worlds. https://goo.gl/JscWYQ #DataIntegration #ML
