Tutorial Extension

Do the following with your small group:

1. Review parts 1-7 together

2. If you all got through the section about versioning, review that together as well. If not everyone did it, work on it together.

3. Create an endpoint to sell a book

   • request: PATCH /api/v1/books/1/sell
   • response:

         {
   	  "id": 1,
   	  "title": "The Moving Finger",
   	  "author": "Cortez Shields II",
   	  "genre": "Fable",
   	  "summary": "Omnis vitae fugiat. Nesciunt eos eius. Aperiam atque nihil.",
   	  "number_sold": 2,
   	  "created_at": "2022-10-17T15:10:51.614Z",
   	  "updated_at": "2022-10-17T15:10:51.614Z"
         }

   • Assuming number_sold was originally 1

4. Update your GET /api/v1/books endpoint to get books with a certain reading level

   • request: GET /api/v1/books?reading_level=3
   • response:

   [
