# Overview

This doc will walk through a single-module implementation of a servant API connecting to a MySQL database. It will also include some basic CRUD operations.

Once you can wrap your head around this implementation, understanding more complex features like resource pools would be beneficial next steps.

The only *prerequisite* is that you have a MySQL database open on port 3306 of your machine. Docker is an easy way to manage this.

## Setup

- The mysql database should be up and running on 127.0.0.1:3306

- Our API will be exposed on localhost:8080

## REST actions available

*Get all people*

```
/people    GET
```

*Get person by ID*

```
/people/:id    GET
```

*Insert a new person*

```
/people    POST

{
  "name": "NewName",
  "age": 24
}
```

*Delete a person*

```
/people/:id    DELETE
```

## Other notes

At the time of writing this issue may occur when building your project:

```
setup: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
* Missing (or bad) C libraries: ssl, crypto
```

If using stack, this can be fixed by adding the following lines to your `stack.yaml`:

```
extra-include-dirs:
- /usr/local/opt/openssl/include
extra-lib-dirs:
- /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
```

Or for cabal, running your builds with these configurations passed as options.

## Sample requests

Assuming that you have the db running and have first run `stack exec run migrate`, the following sample requests will test your API:

*Create a person*

```bash
curl -X POST \
  http://localhost:8080/person \
  -H 'Accept: */*' \
  -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  -H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
  -H 'Content-Length: 62' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Host: localhost:8080' \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -d '{
	"name": "Jake",
	"age": "25"
}'
```

*Get all persons*

```bash
curl -X GET \
  http://localhost:8080/person \
  -H 'Accept: */*' \
  -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  -H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
  -H 'Content-Length: 33' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Host: localhost:8080' \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache'
```

*Get person by ID*

```bash
curl -X GET \
  http://localhost:8080/person/1 \
  -H 'Accept: */*' \
  -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  -H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Host: localhost:8080' \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache'
```
