Documentation

We use Postman for documentation. Each of the application screens will be a folder in the postman collection and the endpoints for each screen will be added as request routes in the folders

Request URL Structure

We maintain this request structure in the overall project:

host:port/dir/version/platform/model/operation

For instance:

Login url should be:

http://localhost:1048/api/v1/ {mobile or web}users/login

Response Structure

All response must follow this structure
status_code: the status code
message: human-readable message

req: Request body when available
