A few videos ago, I created a very simple API to use with the SammyJS app we were building. This week, we take that idea and build a REST API using PHP code. The new REST API will utilize PDO, controllers, and classes to build a reusable and scalable API.
The new REST API works better with our existing code base and can be expanded into a fully-functional CRUD application for your app backend. The newly created object-oriented JSON code helps deliver better responses and error cod
Let's get started an integrate a new API into our existing PHP code built to our specifications.
