Usage

List expenses

Send GET request to /api/expenses endpoint

Create expenses

Send POST request to /api/expenses endpoint with following json-payload

{
    "user": 1,
    "reason" : "Your expense reason",
    "value": "Your expense value",
    "date": "YYYY-MM-DD"
}

If your expense is created, you'll receive something like

{
    "success": true,
    "status": 200,
    "data": {
        "user": 1,
        "reason": "Fri",

        "created_at": "2021-08-19T11:44:27.000000Z",
        "expense_id": 8
    }
}

In case of any validation error, you'll receive response similar to below

{
    "success": false,
    "status": 500,
    "data": {
        "reason": [
            "The reason must be at least 3 characters."
        ]
    }
}
