Usage Examples
Prompt Template
Generate a set of API routes for an Expo application that handles [FUNCTIONALITY] using [DATA_FORMAT]. Include routes for [SPECIFIC_ACTIONS] and ensure proper error handling for [ERROR_SCENARIOS]. Provide code snippets for each route.
Example Output
Here are the API routes for an Expo application that handles user authentication using JSON. 1. **POST /api/login**: This route allows users to log in. It expects a JSON body with 'username' and 'password'. On success, it returns a token. If the credentials are incorrect, it returns a 401 error with a message 'Invalid credentials'. 2. **POST /api/register**: This route handles user registration. It requires 'username', 'password', and 'email' in the JSON body. On successful registration, it returns a success message. If the username is already taken, it returns a 409 error with a message 'Username already exists'. 3. **GET /api/user**: This route retrieves user information. It requires a valid token in the Authorization header. If the token is valid, it returns user details. If the token is expired or invalid, it returns a 403 error with a message 'Unauthorized'. 4. **PUT /api/user**: This route allows users to update their profile information. It expects a JSON body with fields like 'email' and 'password'. On success, it returns a message 'Profile updated successfully'. If the user is not found, it returns a 404 error with a message 'User not found'. These routes streamline the authentication process, ensuring that user management is efficient and secure.
