A little discovery tool for learning about REST.

REST

REST is a set of conventions (i.e. rules we agree to) for writing routes. Using REST will make your routes more manageable and professional-looking.

You can play with a discovery tool here, or run it locally (see the bottom of this README).

Learning about REST

Head to the docs to read all about REST.

You might want to do this before, after, or during playing with the application.

Running the discovery tool

Online

Head to https://sjmog.github.io/rest and play about. There are two exercises:

• Understanding Resources and States, which aims to train your understanding of, well, RESTful resources and application states, and
• 'Designing RESTful routes', which trains your ability to, er, design RESTful routes.

You can do either one in either order.

Locally

Clone this directory and serve the files using a static file server. For example:

npm install -g serve
serve

And head to http://localhost:5000. Or just open index.html.

You've gotta use an ES6-compatible browser.
