Remember: Shield added => 
```php
service('auth')->routes($routes)
```

```php
// API routes (put below service('auth'))
$routes->group("api", ["namespace" => "App\Controller\Api"], function($routes) {
	$routes->post("register", "AuthController::register");
	$routes->post("login", "AuthController::login");
	$routes->get("profile", "AuthController::profile");
	$routes->get("logout", "AuthController::logout", ["filter"=>"apiauth"]);

	//$routes->post("add-project", "ProjectController::addProject");
	//$routes->get("list-projects", "ProjectController::listProjects");
	//$routes->delete("delete-project/(:num)", "ProjectController::deleteProject/$1");
});
```

$routes->get("logout", "AuthController::logout", ["filter" => "apiauth"]);





```php

use CodeIgniter\Restful\ResourceController;

	public function register()
