Weighter API

After creating a completely server side weight tracking app (weighter), it was time to implement a client side front end, which means I also needed a REST API on the server side. Using my NWA Template as a starting point, I was able to quickly spin up some user and weight models. This API acts as the backend to both the React and Vue implementations of the front end.

Both implementations are deployed on Heroku at the links below:
http://weighter-react.herokuapp.com/
http://weighter-vue.herokuapp.com/

You can access the API here: https://weighter-api.herokuapp.com/
