API Plug

@hexnorify @apiplug great product guys :) Really looking forward to seeing your business take off. Just a kind reminder that screenshots under "3 easy steps" dont reveal anything and they look like they are only filling a space there. Use of a part of a screen would much better explain what those steps look like. Partnering with DO also greatly increases the overall perceived value. Again great job!

@gorkemcetin @hexnorify @apiplug Thanks for your good comments and wishes :) We'll definitely look into that and improve the message given on screenshots with an alternative way.

@akesoft Yes sure, API Plug analyses your DB structure and according to the tables and fields it automatically generates all necessary crud endpoints with swagger documentation. Then you could download full project source code with documentation. Also waiting for your comments and suggestions after trying on pc, thanks.

@ttrauser Thank you so much. As you said after auto-generating all crud endpoints, you could add your custom code such as your business logic endpoints on the fly then download the full source code of project in your preferred Language & Framework. You could make maintain and control multiple versions of your API too. Also Docker container is available for output. We are trying to improve our UI but every feature we add makes it a little more complicated :) We would love to hear any suggestions on this too.

@russellbarnard Thank you so much, API Generation was our first layer we are planning to add more layers and tools that could make a developers life easier on backend. Currently working on Authentication layer which will allow some options such as oAuth2.0, Basic Auth etc. for securing your API's and managing your user limitations. Do you have any other suggestions on this or another feature/tool that could be really time saving on backend?

@dorukmolo @russellbarnard I think this feature is a must. Securing API endpoints should be part of the package.

@talkaboutdesign @russellbarnard Yes we believe the same thing, also getting to much request about this feature. We are planning to complete authentication module as soon as possible.

@h_halvi Thanks, would like to hear from you after using API Plug on your projects, we have some other gifts for testimonials :) DO credits were their welcome gift for their new users.

@aemretas Thanks for your comments. Actually there are lots of API related commercial and open source projects. We are trying to differentiate on some points. Our first aim is being stack free and giving the full control on their API’s to developer. To achieve this we are allowing users to choose from different languages and frameworks to generate source code and documentation of their API’s and download or deploy directly to a cloud hosting. Also for making easier and faster, developer only connects or uploads existing db schema via web UI and the rest of the process automatically completed by API Plug. There is no need to create a blueprint or use some command line tools to generate model etc.
