Add:Add Full CRUD Routes and Consistent API Responses

[nyainda]

Description

Add missing CRUD routes (index and update) to the testimonial system and implement consistent API response formatting.

Acceptance Criteria

• Routes added:
  • GET /testimonials (index)
  • GET /testimonials/{id} (show)
  • POST /testimonials (store)
  • PUT /testimonials/{id} (update)
  • DELETE /testimonials/{id} (destroy)
• API responses use ApiResponse trait for consistency
• All endpoints return appropriate status codes (200, 201, 404, etc.)
• Tests cover all CRUD operations

Purpose

Completes the testimonial API functionality and ensures a uniform response structure for better client integration.

Requirements

• Laravel routing in api.php
• TestimonialController updates
• ApiResponse trait implementation
• Postman for testing

Expected Outcome

Full CRUD operations are available, with responses like { "status": "success", "data": {...} }. Screenshots:

• GET /testimonials:
• POST /testimonials:
• PUT /testimonials/{id}:

Additional Context

• Builds on existing store/show/destroy functionality
• Enhances API usability

testimonial show, destroy and store already exists. Is there a use case for index and update?

The screenshot you shared is from the testimonials, right? It's using the correct response, what would you like to update in the response?

the reason why i added the 2 but if you dont see any good reason i can remove them
Update Method - This is critical because:

.Users may make spelling mistakes in their testimonials
.Users might want to revise their testimonial content after submission
.Content might need moderation or editing

Index Method - This would be useful for:

.Displaying all testimonials on a webpage
.Admin panels to review all testimonials
.Filtering or searching through testimonials

from the instruction we were to follow this format for response
The API responses should follow the structure below for uniformity (Refer to the docs)

{
"status": "string",
"status_code": number,
"message": "string",
"data": {}
}

here is the response format
{
"status": "success",
"status_code": 200,
"message": "Testimonial created successfully",
"data": {
"user_id": "9e517938-ed7e-48cf-8bbf-153855b10fe8",
"name": "Anonymous User",
"content": "I am extremely satisfied with the exceptional service provided by the company. Their response time and attention to detail exceeded my expectations!",
"id": "9e5179e5-be07-49a3-adb9-24e84ec1fd8b",
"updated_at": "2025-02-28T07:29:06.000000Z",
"created_at": "2025-02-28T07:29:06.000000Z"
}
}

@nyainda the instruction format looks exactly like what you have in your screenshot. you can proceed to working on the index and update provided there is a use case
