From data model to RESTful API.
In minutes.

1. 1

   Design your project in UML

   Map out your classes, attributes and relationships before building your API.

2. 2

   Create your database

   Turn your data model into database tables, columns and relationships.

3. 3

   Create each REST resource

   Use Biorn Wizard to configure each resource and generate its source code.

What does the Wizard generate?

• From database columns to API parameters

  Select the database table for your REST resource. Biorn Wizard detects its columns, excluding system fields such as id, creation and modification, and guides you through configuring each API parameter.

  For each field, define its OpenAPI documentation and whether it is required for create operations, update operations, or both.

• Validation

  Define the types and validation rules for each resource attribute. The Wizard generates the code that checks incoming values.

  For example, require first_name to contain 1–80 characters and no digits, or ensure paper_id references an existing id in the paper table.

• Permissions

  Choose which user types can execute each CRUD operation. Biorn Wizard generates the corresponding permission checks.

  In our university API, you could allow a Researcher to delete papers while denying that operation to a Student.

• Dynamic filters

  The Wizard generates the code to filter API requests through query parameters, including filters involving relationships between resources.

  Students enrolled in course 6

  GET /students?filter_by=course.id[equal]=6

• API responses

  Response handling code is generated too, including structured error responses that explain what went wrong.

  Example validation error

  {
    "success": false,
    "data": null,
    "error": {
      "message": "Invalid request parameters",
      "info": {
        "invalid_parameters": {
          "first_name": "First name cannot be empty",
          "email": "Invalid email address"
        }
      }
    }
  }
