json-api VS Less

There is a group of people who set out to standardize JSON responses into a single response style, either for returning single or multiple resources. You can take their style as a reference when designing their API to ensure uniformity of responses.

The server seems to be using the popular JSON:API standard which is a great way to build APIs. But should we really use these data structures in the frontend?

Note: You think the response data structure with the data field and the included field with mixed data types looks weird? You might not have encountered the popular JSON:API standard yet.

In addition to saving you time on boilerplate, the API provided by Hatchify fully implements the JSON: API specification, which stipulates solid standards to define the peculiarities of CRUD REST APIs. Get back all the time spent bike-shedding how to implement standard API features like filtering, pagination, including related data, etc. JSON: API offers consistent practices for frontend and backend developers to agree on how resources are fetched and returned. Since Hatchify provides the core of your API for you, you can count on it’s standardized functionality to give your API a consistent start.

There is an atomic operations extension:

JSON:API to format each message

As we’re building a RESTful API that’s formatted by the JSON:API specification and store our data in a MySQL8 relational database, a few things were pretty straightforward – we need a new model and we’ll name it Custom Field (naming wasn’t an issue here 🥲).

Now that we have addressed our scripts, we can focus on our styles. In this setup, we will look at the CSS preprocessor Less which lets us write CSS simpler, use variables and mixins. We can add it to the project with the following command:
