The flow of article and the way things are organized is amazing. I would be keeping this one as a reference, when I would writing one myself.
Adding pics of postman for each of the steps u described would have been icing on the cake.
Raj!!
Your comment just made my day. Thank you for your amazing suggestion.
That is totally what I wanted to do as well!!
I am a mark up language novice and I couldn't find resources that teach how to insert screenshots into dev.to blog. If you know how, please let me know. I would LOVE to incorporate your suggestion in my next blog.
Thanks again for a great feedback! :)
Great Article, Lisa!
For adding images to dev.to posts you will have an option to upload images on the edit page.
You will have two image types - Cover (for cover image) and Body images (for the post).
On successful upload you will get markdown and URL for the image - you can use either of them, just copy-paste the markdown
or copy URL alone addimgtag -<img src="url" alt="alt text" />That's all you need to do for adding images.
P.S. for the cover image you do not need to copy-paste, by default it will be at top of post.
Sai!! Why are you so amazing??
I am so excited to apply your advice on my blog posts.
Thank you so much for all the time and effort you've put into giving me great advice.
Your kind words and encouragement inspires me to continue blogging.
Hope you have a great night. You absolutely deserve it!!
Wow, this has been so helpful, the ease with which you explain things is so amazing.

Thank you so much @badasscoder ! Haven't worked with Rails in awhile. Your comment will be so helpful to others who come across this blog. Thank you again! :)
Can we expect new rails blog from you ??
Hi @rajat Shahi!
I actually don't write about rails anymore and switched my focus to Node.js and Elasticsearch. There are so many great bloggers on Dev.to who write about rails so I would check out the resources as you continue your journey! Thank you again for a great compliment. :)
This blog was very simple and very informative. thanks :)
Great post, Lisa, very well organized. Everything worked at first attempt. Few words: thanks.
So glad you found it helpful @stefano Corsi! Thank you for the wonderful comment!
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm seeing a lot of job posts that involve Ruby on Rails and this was a great intro for me. It's really cool seeing how similar all of these languages can be.
You are so welcome @charles Hernandez! I am so glad you found it helpful! :)
Sick tutorial thank you so much! I needed a refresher on Rails as haven't practised it in three years. Your article has really helped me regain my confidence cheers Lisa!
@evie !! Thank you so much for your wonderfully uplifting message. I am so glad my blog was helpful!! :))
Wow, nice article. I didn't know it's so easy to create an API using RoR. It's basically some sort of headless/faceless app since you don't have to create the views.
Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome and thank you for the kind words k00Lgithub! Your message put a huge smile on my face. :)))
Perfect!
As addition I'd add a note how to secure the API, for example with basic auth: api.rubyonrails.org/classes/Action...
Thanks a whole lot!

@abdo Amin, thank you so much for your kind words! You put a huge smile on my face!
That's so great tutorial!
But can you share the code colorscheme you use? This look so awesome!
Thank you so much phuongzzz! I use the built in code colorscheme for Dev.to.
It allows you to add color highlighting for whatever language your code was written in.
All you have to do is to add three backticks on the lines before and after the code block.
To add syntax highlighting, specify the programming language after the first three backticks. I added Ruby after my first three backticks to add syntax highlighting to my code.
Refer to this resource and scroll down to syntax highlighting if you need clarifications!
