API Endpoints

FastAPI/Node.js Endpoint Example (Node.js)

const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const { v4: uuidv4 } = require('uuid');
const Note = require('../models/note');

router.post('/notes', async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const noteData = {
      id: uuidv4(),
      user_id: req.body.user_id,
      title: req.body.title,
      content: req.body.content,
      created_at: new Date().toISOString(),
      updated_at: new Date().toISOString(),
      is_deleted: false
    };

    const note = await Note.create(noteData);
    res.status(201).json({ success: true, data: note });
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(500).json({ success: false, error: error.message });
  }
});

React UI Example

import { useState } from 'react';

function NoteForm() {
  const [title, setTitle] = useState('');
  const [content, setContent] = useState('');

  const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    try {
      // Submit to API endpoint
      const response = await fetch('/api/notes', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
          user_id: selectedUser.id,
          title,
          content,
        }),
      });

      if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Failed to create note');
      
      setTitle('');
      setContent('');
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error:', error);
    }
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <input
        type="text"
        value={title}
        onChange={(e) => setTitle(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Enter note title"
        required
      />
      <textarea
        value={content}
        onChange={(e) => setContent(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Enter note content"
        required
      />
      <button type="submit">Create Note</button>
    </form>
  );
}

export default NoteForm;

Data Schema (Pydantic)

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from typing import Optional
import uuid
from datetime import datetime

class Note(BaseModel):
    id: str = Field(..., description="Unique identifier for the note", example="550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000")
    user_id: str = Field(..., description="User ID associated with the note", example="12345")
    title: str = Field(..., min_length=1, max_length=255, description="Title of the note", example="Important Update")
    content: str = Field(..., min_length=1, description="Content of the note", example="New feature implementation details...")
    created_at: datetime = Field(..., description="Timestamp when the note was created", example="2023-10-26T14:00:00Z")
    updated_at: datetime = Field(..., description="Timestamp when the note was last updated", example="2023-10-26T14:00:00Z")
    is_deleted: bool = Field(False, description="Indicates if the note has been logically deleted")

    # Validator to ensure id is a valid UUID
    @classmethod
    def validate(cls, value):
        try:
            uuid.UUID(value)
            return value
        except ValueError:
            raise ValueError("Invalid UUID format")
