[API] Endpoint for creating a new resource

[lpatmo]

We need a resources/create endpoint that accepts the following JSON body:

{
      "id": "7e08e0b0-da77-11e9-95c3-d20089b01401",
      "title": "The Road to Learn React",
      "description": "This Book is your personal start of learning React and its ecosystem. You will learn plain React, transition from JavaScript ES5 to ES6, and build an application along the way. Afterward you are able to build your own applications and you are prepared to dive into the React ecosystem.",
      "url": "https://leanpub.com/the-road-to-learn-react",
      "referrer": "https://roadtoreact.com/",
      "credit": "Lynnea Sauvage (lsauvage0@latimes.com)",
      "date_published": "2019-09-18T17:50:36-07:00",
      "created": "2019-09-18T17:50:36.198968-07:00",
      "modified": "2019-09-18T17:50:36-07:00",
      "media_type": "Book",
      "paid": true,
      "tags": [
        {
          "id": "a1167632-abb8-4ce1-b090-b84e79c94c7f",
          "name": "JavaScript"
        },
        {
          "id": "66cc3539-6705-45ee-b15d-644d5fb90c41",
          "name": "ES6"
        },
        {
          "id": "8b99bcd9-a9a5-4455-b2da-fed06051d502",
          "name": "React"
        }
      ]
    }

POSTing to resources/create should result in new resource being created.

Turns out, this is already taken care of since the endpoint was also set up to accept POST. You can create a resource by POST-ing to /api/v1/resources/ (using https://github.com/BethanyG/django-concept/tree/issue-18).

As currently set up, you will need a valid JWT token in your header in this format:

"Authorization: Bearer <your_token>"

I'll leave this open for now..just in case I am missing something.

DRF does provide an automatic create/ endpoint, but it only accepts PUT requests, and I can't seem to figure out how to make it play nice without completely customizing the router class.

[lpatmo]

but it only accepts PUT requests

Do you mean that you want to make it accept PATCH requests instead of PUT?

I'm tempted to close this issue since I've tested that POST requests will work. :)

[BethanyG]

Unless we have our hearts set on a specific api/v1/resources/create path that accepts POST I am inclined to agree with you: we close this, and call it done with api/v1/resources/ accepting POST requests.

[lpatmo]

Sounds good! Closing.
