Simple TODO API in Dart
A very simple TODO API in Dart based on the shelf package.
This project is ment to demonstrate how to create a simple REST API using Dart.
Download dependencies
As mentioned this project depends on the shelf package. To download the package and make it available to the project run:
dart pub get
Compile and run
Assuming the Dart SDK installed (instructions can be found here) compiling the SDK can be done using the following command from the root of the project:
dart compile exe bin/todo_dart
This will create a self-contained executable which can be executed by running to following command from the root of the project:
./bin/todo_dart.exe
Run a debug build
To run a debug build run the following command from the root of the project:
dart run bin/todo_dart.dart
Testing the API
If the server is running it will start listening on localhost at port 8080. To fetch a list of TODO items from the API using curl run:
curl http://localhost:8080/todos
To add an item to the TODO list using curl run:
curl -X 'POST' \
'http://localhost:8080/todo' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"id": 2,
"is_checked": true,
"value": "Put ice-cream in the freezer"
}'
