Simplifying API Endpoints for Adding and Removing Pets

In this meeting, the participants discussed a technical issue regarding adding and removing items from a user's list. They identified that the problem was caused by overriding the original pets variable with a list of objects instead of just an array. They decided to simplify the process by creating separate API endpoints for adding and removing pets. The participant also recommended using explicit endpoint names, such as "add pet" and "remove pet," for more clarity. They discussed different implementation options, including using boolean arguments or dynamically checking if the pet is already in the list. The meeting concluded with the participant acknowledging the various approaches and expressing gratitude for the suggestions.
