Users need to create new accounts using confirmation codes

we want something like PATCH /signups { confirmed: true } as a route + payload. this should change the state of the signup and create a new user record. the return data should include data about the signup and a link to the new user record a la HATEOAS. We're going to use jsonapi for external communication with the api so check out:

to be more detailed, this should identify the signup in the route, right? i.e.
PATCH api/v1/sign_ups/1043 {confirmed: true}

Absolutely

This could go another way: POST /api/v1/users { confirmation_code: 123456, sign_up_id: xyz } but then we'll need a way to link the user to the sign up. That could be done by requiring the client to hang on to the sign up id returned by sign up creation.

Also, imagine these are legitimate json payloads....
