What role does Ruby classes play in handling Api creation?
In our context, a Ruby class is one of the prerequisites to create an API
What role does Ruby classes play in handling Api requests?
The request comes as plain text. But then it gets transformed into an object that is made of a Ruby class. Like a Hash for example.
You mentioned classes and handling requests. So here's what I think this means in practice in Ruby on Rails: ActionDispatch::Http::Request.
The mechanics of it uses Controllers in Rails case. Assuming that's what you're learning. I recommend a read at Rails guides for further clarification.
(non-tricky questions) (no need to google the answer)
Could you elaborate your current understanding of what a class is?
Would you mind sharing an example you see without REST involved?
What is REST in your view? How do you make sense of it?
