About the project we are going to build

In this tutorial we are going to be building a REST API that exposes 3 endpoints to the internet:

GET /todos
POST /todos
DELETE /todos/<int:position>

GET /todos

Will return the list of all todos like this:

[
    {
        "done": true,
        "label": "Sample Todo 1"
    },
    {
        "done": true,
        "label": "Sample Todo 2"
    }
]

POST /todos

It's going to add a new todo to the list, it will receive the following request body:

{
    "done": true,
    "label": "Sample Todo 1"
}

And return the updated list of todos

DELETE /todos/int:position

It's going to remove one todo based on a given position at the end of the url, and return the updated list of todos.
