Share My Creation [Project Template] [Web] MinimaList API Server

Version: 2.08
Description: Build REST API Server with MinimaList using B4X project template

Sample project: shao (micro-blogging web app)

If you want to connect to an SQL database, see Web API Server 2

---

Template:

• MinimaList API Server (2.08).b4xtemplate

Depends on:

• WebApiUtils.b4xlib
• MinimaListUtils.b4xlib (B4X library)

Optional:

• MinimaListController.jar and MinimaListController.xml

• https://github.com/pyhoon/WebApiUtils-B4J
• https://github.com/pyhoon/MinimaListUtils-B4X
• https://github.com/pyhoon/MinimaListController-B4J

Features:

• Similar to Web API Server 2 but use MinimaListUtils instead of MiniORMUtils library.
• MinimaList is a library for storing key-value pairs or Maps into a List.
• Meaning this API server does not connect to any SQL database.
• Optionally, MinimaList can be persisted using KeyValueStore library.
• Clients
  • Build-in front-end client (web)
  • Compatible with Web API Client (1.05).b4xtemplate (B4X UI apps)

Code example:

Private Sub GetCategory (id As Long)
    ' #Version = v2
    ' #Desc = Read one Category by id
    ' #Elements = [":id"]
 
    Dim M1 As Map = Main.CategoryList.Find(id)
    If M1.Size > 0 Then
        HRM.ResponseCode = 200
    Else
        HRM.ResponseCode = 404
    End If
    HRM.ResponseObject = M1
    ReturnApiResponse
End Sub
