Workshop Task

  • You get to build your own choice of a fully functional Rest API.
  • These could be APIs like a Weather API, Backend for a blogging platform, Movie ticket booking API, etc.
  • All the codebase of your submission shall be pushed to the Github classroon assignment repo that was sent earlier.
  • Important: No participant shall submit a same application. i.e Your submission must be unique. Hence you are requested to use the #coders-chat channel at Pattarai Discord to call dibs on what you will be building.

General Rules

  • Your backend shall consist of more than two relations between the data models.
  • Your API should do more than just doing single CRUD operations to a database. (Create, Read, Update, Delete). Try inserting, updating across multiple tables - experiment with Prisma.
  • Try implementing nested routes. Use relevant methods and errorHandlers.
  • Using jwt or any authorization is completely optional. But doing it will fetch you a higher score.
  • Your API must be well documented via Postman and the collection should be exported and added to your repository. Refer this.
  • Optional: You could try deploying your API to https://www.railway.app

Onwards

  • You think you've built a great API and kick-ass prisma schema? Why not contribute to offical prisma.
  • https://github.com/prisma/templates - this repo contains a few official example projects. Have a read at its README
  • They are open for contributions to add more examples. Try opening pull requests to this repo once you've successfully completed your submission.
  • Your workshop submission might actually end up in a official prisma repository.

Feel Free to ping me: super.skywalker#4004 at #coders-chat in Pattarai's discord if you have any doubts regarding the task. Happy Learning.
