Last week we started creating a real REST API using PHP. This week, I am going to create the CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations for the API. Instead of creating an admin, we will be using Postman to manage our API and test the functionality and responses.
Postman is a free application you can download and test APIs quickly and efficiently. You can install it on your computer and run your local as well as public APIs to see results and access.
Using Postman, we will test the operations of the API to ensure they work before we build out the front end code.
