API Generation

API generation is optional. In the Negroni Blueprint wizard, you can choose REST, SOAP, GraphQL, Database Schema, or Data Models outputs before generating the Martini package or publishing to a Martini runtime. When exporting a Martini package directly from a manifest, Negroni uses the API settings saved in the manifest's Configure panel.

Supported API Types

API Type	Description
REST API	Default. Generates RESTful endpoints using standard HTTP methods.
SOAP API	Generates SOAP-compatible endpoints.
GraphQL API	Generates a GraphQL schema with query and mutation operations.

Default Endpoints Per Entity

For each entity, Negroni generates five standard endpoints:

Operation	Description
Create	Creates a new record.
Update	Modifies an existing record.
Get Single	Retrieves a single record by identifier.
Get All	Retrieves all records, with optional pagination.
Delete	Removes a record.

Additional endpoints are generated for entities with relationships (join queries).

1. Click Negroni Blueprint in the toolbar.

3. Select one or more API types: REST, SOAP, or GraphQL.
4. Optionally select Database Schema or Data Models as the generated model output.
5. Complete the database connection, SQL configuration, package, and summary steps.
