API

#Introduction

A web server can be configured as a resource server accessed through a set of “external” functions or endpoints (API).

REST is a fairly common way of interacting between client applications and services using HTTP.

An HTTP request consists of a method and a “path”.

By default, browsers use the GET method, and when you navigate to a website you do so with a GET request and only need to specify the “path”.

But a web API uses other methods, and clients use these methods to perform actions other than obtaining resources.

#Work Environment

Create an application (with the netlify template) as explained at HTML page.

Modify the index.ts file to return a JSON document at the path /api/hello.

app.get('/api/hello', (c) => {
  return c.json({
    ok: true,
    message: 'Hello Hono!',
  })
})

Run the server in development mode:

netlify dev

Install curlie:

scoop install curlie

Make a GET request:

curlie localhost:8888/api/hello
