Answer from AI
When confirming on the frontend, an HTTP request is usually sent to the backend to record the user's action.
- HTTP Method: most often
POST, as confirmation involves creating or changing a state on the server. - Endpoint: usually named according to the action's meaning, for example
/confirm,/orders/{id}/confirm, or/api/confirm.
Example interaction:
POST /api/orders/12345/confirm HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{"userId": "67890"}
The server processes the request, changes the order status to "confirmed," and returns the result.
