Create Web API Server using B4X project template

If you don't want to connect to any SQL database, see MinimaList API Server

For older version webapi-b4j, please check https://github.com/pyhoon/webapi-b4j

• Web API Server (2.08).b4xtemplate

• WebApiUtils.b4xlib
• MiniORMUtils.b4xlib
• Optional:
  • WebAPIController.jar and WebAPIController.xml

• ApiHandler and WebHandler are used for routing to Controller classes
• HelpHandler (optional)
• API documentation is generated automatically. You don't need external tools (e.g Postman or Swagger) for testing.
• Access tokens can be embeded into request header in HelpHandler.
• Controller classes are added to a list in Main module to show in the documentation.
• Configuration
  • Web and API paths
  • Versioning
  • Simple JSON Response (Map or List)
  • Session
  • Cookies
  • Welcome message
• Endpoint
  • Endpoint name is based on controller's name by default e.g ProductsController produces /web/api/v2/products
  • Endpoint name can be overridden by using #Name tag e.g /web/api/v2/product
  • Custom version name using #Version tag e.g v2, live, demo, dev, staging
  • Description in documentation is set using #Desc tag (in Web API v1, it was set by #Desc1, #Desc2 or Literals that was very confusing)
  • API endpoint can be hidden using #Hide tag
• Clients
  • Build-in front-end client (web)
  • Compatible with Web API Client (1.05).b4xtemplate (B4A, B4i, B4J)

Private Sub GetCategory (id As Long)
    ' #Version = v2
    ' #Desc = Read one Category by id
    ' #Elements = [":id"]

    DB.Table = "tbl_category"
    DB.Find(id)
    If DB.Found Then
        HRM.ResponseCode = 200
        HRM.ResponseObject = DB.First
    Else
        HRM.ResponseCode = 404
        HRM.ResponseError = "Category not found"
    End If
    DB.Close
    ReturnApiResponse
End Sub
