Creating the HTTP API
In this chapter, we will create the HTTP API that will be consumed by the frontend of our task manager. We’ll start by learning about how to write HTTP REST endpoints in Quarkus. Then, we’ll define the services that will encapsulate the business logic of our application and make use of the data layer we implemented in Chapter 2, Adding Persistence. Next, we will implement the endpoints that will expose the functionality of the different services to the frontend application.
By the end of this chapter, you should be able to implement HTTP and representational state transfer (REST) endpoints in Quarkus. You should also be able to create singleton services and use dependency injection to provide their instances to the endpoint implementation classes.
We will be covering the following topics in this chapter:
- Writing HTTP REST endpoints in Quarkus
- Implementing the task manager business logic
- Exposing the task manager to the frontend...
