Here is a sample session:

devtools::load_all(".")
rb <- rocketbase::RocketBase$new("http://localhost:8090", identity = "[email protected]", password = "hebelehubele")
response <- rb$bare$get("/api/collections/users/records")
stopifnot(response$status_code == 200)
my_data <- jsonlite::fromJSON(response$parse(encoding = "UTF-8"))
print(my_data)

table <- list(
    name = "observations",
    type = "base",
    system = FALSE,
    schema = list(
        list(
            "name" = "key",
            "type" = "text",
            "system" = FALSE,
            "required" = TRUE,
            "unique" = TRUE,
            "nullable" = FALSE
        ),
        list(
            "name" = "value",
            "type" = "text",
            "system" = FALSE,
            "required" = FALSE,
            "unique" = FALSE,
            "nullable" = TRUE
        )
    )
)
response <- rb$bare$post("/api/collections", encode = "json", body=table)
stopifnot(response$status_code == 200)

response <- rb$bare$get("/api/collections/observations/records")
stopifnot(response$status_code == 200)
my_data <- jsonlite::fromJSON(response$parse(encoding = "UTF-8"))
print(my_data)

response <- rb$bare$post("/api/collections/observations/records", encode = "json", body=list(
    key = "key1",
    value = "value1"
))
stopifnot(response$status_code == 200)

response <- rb$bare$post("/api/collections/observations/records", encode = "json", body=list(
    key = "key2",
    value = "value2"
))
stopifnot(response$status_code == 200)

response <- rb$bare$get("/api/collections/observations/records")
stopifnot(response$status_code == 200)
my_data <- jsonlite::fromJSON(response$parse(encoding = "UTF-8"))
print(my_data)
