Create a Basic API with Ruby on Rails - Part 1 - Returning JSON Data

PART 1 - Returning JSON DATA
Welcome to a new ongoing tutorial mini-series dedicated to building an API-driven Ruby on Rails application.
The goal of this series is to give some perspective of what it's like building a backend API that can talk to multiple applications no matter the platform.
I plan to discuss topics like returning data to a client, routing, versioning, authentication, and more.

thanks!

[@jl_woodworks]

Very nice. Insane you don't have more views.

[@jackepner9984]

It looked like it was added to git without any commands... how did you set that up?

[@rcolon85]

Thanks for this tutorial! Hey I have a question, after I migrate after creating the first book. I can't see anything on the localhost:3000 ? I've created an api before with localhost:3000/api/v1/ and get a response on postman but when I follow the steps I cant get anything back. What could it be?

[@rcolon85]

Edit: Got it, had to reboot rails server

[@anuj5857]

Good

[@TheCardboardWorkshop]

Thank you for your tutorial. I wonder which extension that helps you type so fast?

[@Webcrunch]

I think you're looking for Emmet which autocompletes some different languages 👍

[@Pelu6cuerdas]

Is it possible to only show certain data in, for example, the index action of the controller and other data in the show action? I want to show more detailed info in show, but with the serializer is always the same

[@Pelu6cuerdas]

I resolved it. You can create custom serializations!

Awsome video. But i dont know why, bur the --api command doesn't works on may rails 6.1.7. Doens not creates any API controllers or JSON renderings, e etc.. It creates a rails full app. Dont know what to do.. anyone please?

[@iamjustine1]

maybe you forgot the scaffold part. Once you created the app using --api, there will be no generated api controller or json yet, unless you scaffold. you can also generate your own controller "rails g controller " then you can start your actions
