Ripplit Service Documentation

Service Contract Overview

The Ripplit Service is a RESTful API built using Ballerina that manages users and their associated posts. It provides a flexible way to handle CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for both users and posts, allowing seamless interaction with the underlying system. This service is designed to serve as the backend for social or blog-like platforms where users can register, create posts, and manage their profiles.

Key Features:

• User Management:
  • Create, retrieve, and delete users.
  • Validate user inputs like name length during user creation.
• Post Management:
  • Retrieve posts for all users or a specific user.
  • Create posts for specific users with metadata such as tags, category, and creation timestamp.
• Error Handling:
  • Provides detailed error responses for scenarios such as user not found, forbidden post creation, and validation failures.

This service supports a typical REST API interaction style, with HTTP methods like GET, POST, and DELETE mapped to specific resource paths for handling requests. Below is a detailed breakdown of the API endpoints and data types used in the service.
