Day 648 - I made an API-first app! https://writelier.com/i-made-an-api-first-app!-061d6444-54d8-438d-81a9-12ae31448baa
🏆🏆🏆 I WON! At least I feel like I won. To learn how to create an API-first app (the J and A in JAMstack), I created a Rails todo list API and then a Vue app to fetch data from it, via axios, basic auth and env var. Just deployed the Vue app to Netlify - must rem "yarn build" cmd ! https://todolist-railsapi.herokuapp.com/todos/ 🔁 https://hello-world-axios.netlify.app/
Day 648 - Two beers and a puppy https://writelier.com/two-beers-and-a-puppy-5fdc3135-0c16-4c0d-a03a-f882dbf3acde
💪 YAAASSSS it works! Managed to fetch json data from my Rails todo list REST API to my Vue app via axios, basic auth, and hidden auth details using environment variables. Next: try it with a production Vue app, on Netlify/Heroku
Discovered you can use env variables in Netlify! Researching and reading up about it. Slightly confused though - it kept saying the secret key will show up on the browser console anyway...so how does that keep it secret??!!
Day 647 - Discard anything not making you happier, healthier, wealthier, calmer, or better connected https://writelier.com/discard-anything-not-making-you-happier-healthier-wealthier-calmer-or-better-connected-d52132b8-e2be-4fb8-8ba3-0229cdbf7212
Researching and just realised I can make a GraphQL API in Rails instead of a REST one. A few articles mentioned that it might actually be easier to create a grapghql api for a beginner than a rest api, plus upsides on more granularity on pulling graphql data..should I (since am noob)? - https://dev.to/duomly/rest-api-vs-graphql-comparison-3j6g
⚡️🧠 (Re-)Learning how to set up a production-ready Vue app via Vue CLI and Vue GUI, installing Axios plugin, pulling placeholder JSON data into Vue app. Next, pulling data with authentication from the Rails REST API I built!
Reading up about how to consume an authenticated API using Vue... or should I start using Nuxt?
It is simple to do directly with axios (at least in some cases). Also, checkout https://github.com/Flyrell/axios-auth-refresh

Thanks Gabriel! Yes axios for sure. Likely just going to try something basic first, like with env variables. Great plugin - just starred the repo!
