This project is a simple HTTP server application written in C++ that demonstrates handling HTTP requests for managing Person entities using the Boost ASIO and Beast libraries. It showcases RESTful API design principles, implementing endpoints to retrieve and create person entities.

• RESTful API to manage person entities.
• Uses Boost libraries for network and HTTP functionalities.
• Demonstrates clean architecture, dependency injection, and SOLID principles.
• Simple CMake setup for easy building and configuration.
• e2e tests in Python.
• Powerful router.

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• C++20 compatible compiler (GCC, Clang, MSVC, etc.)
• CMake version 3.14 or higher
• Boost libraries, version 1.71.0 or higher

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/araujo88/MiniBoostRestAPI.git cd MiniBoostRestAPI

2. Configure the project with CMake:

mkdir build && cd build cmake ..

3. Build the project:

cmake --build .

This will generate an executable file in the build directory.

After building the project, you can run the server with the following command from the build directory:

./MiniBoostRestAPI # or MiniBoostRestAPI.exe on Windows

By default, the server listens on port 6969. You can interact with the server using any HTTP client, such as curl or Postman, targeting the available endpoints.

• GET /person: Retrieves a list of all person entities.
• POST /person: Creates a new person entity.
• GET /person/{id}: Retrieve a person entity by id.
• DELETE /person/{id}: Delete a person entity by id.
