C++ MySQL API Project - v0 by Vercel

I'll create a C++ RESTful API project with MySQL integration using modern C++ libraries. This will include HTTP server functionality, MySQL database operations, and proper API endpoints.

macOS (with Homebrew)

brew install cmake mysql-client

CentOS/RHEL

sudo yum install gcc-c++ cmake mysql-devel pkgconfig

Quick Start

Clone and build the project:

git clone <repository-url>
cd cpp-mysql-api
chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh

Set up the database:

mysql -u root -p < database_setup.sql

Run the server:

cd build
./cpp-mysql-api

The server will start on http://localhost:8080

API Endpoints

Health Check

GET /api/health - Server health status

User Management

GET /api/users - Get all users
GET /api/users/{id} - Get user by ID
POST /api/users - Create new user
PUT /api/users/{id} - Update user
DELETE /api/users/{id} - Delete user

Usage Examples

Get All Users

curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/api/users

Create a New User

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/users \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Alice Johnson","email":"alice.johnson@example.com"}'

Update a User

curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/users/1 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Alice Smith","email":"alice.smith@example.com"}'

Delete a User

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/api/users/1

Configuration

Database Connection

Update the database connection parameters in main.cpp:

Database db("localhost", "api_user", "password", "user_api_db");

Server Port

Change the server port in main.cpp:

server.listen("0.0.0.0", 8080); // Change 8080 to your desired port

Docker Support

Build and run with Docker:

docker build -t cpp-mysql-api .
docker run -p 8080:8080 cpp-mysql-api

Error Handling

The API returns appropriate HTTP status codes:

200 - Success
201 - Created
400 - Bad Request (invalid input)
404 - Not Found
500 - Internal Server Error

Error responses include a JSON object with error details:

{
  "error": "User not found",
  "status": 404
}

Security Considerations

Input validation for email format
SQL injection prevention through parameterized queries
CORS headers for cross-origin requests
Database user with limited privileges

Performance Features

Connection pooling ready architecture
Efficient JSON parsing with nlohmann/json
Optimized database queries with indexes
Lightweight HTTP server with cpp-httplib
