About the project we are going to build

In this tutorial, we are going to be building a REST API that exposes 3 endpoints to the internet:

1GET /todos
2POST /todos
3DELETE /todos/<int:position>

GET /todos

Will return the list of all todos like this:

1[
2    {
3        "done": true,
4        "label": "Sample Todo 1"
5    },
6    {
7        "done": true,
8        "label": "Sample Todo 2"
9    }
10]

POST /todos

This will add a new todo to the list with the following request body:

1{
2    "done": true,
3    "label": "Sample Todo 1"
4}

And return the updated list of todos.

DELETE /todos/int:position

This will remove one todo, based on a given position in the todos list, at the end of the URL and return the updated list of todos.
