Flask restful API framework for MongoDB/MongoEngine
Project description
Flask-CuddlyRest
===============
A framework for manipulating mongoengine collections via a CUD-ly API
It has taken inspiration from:
- https://github.com/brettlangdon/mongorest
- https://github.com/elasticsales/flask-mongorest
All credit goes to those projects! :)
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/wuurrd/Flask-CuddlyRest.png)](https://travis-ci.org/wuurrd/Flask-CuddlyRest)
Setup
=====
``` python
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.mongoengine import MongoEngine
from flask.ext.cuddlyrest import CuddlyRest
from flask.ext.cuddlyrest.views import Resource
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.update(
MONGODB_HOST = 'localhost',
MONGODB_PORT = '27017',
MONGODB_DB = 'mongorest_example_app',
)
db = MongoEngine(app)
api = CuddlyRest(app)
class User(db.Document):
email = db.EmailField(unique=True, required=True)
class Content(db.EmbeddedDocument):
text = db.StringField()
class Post(db.Document):
title = db.StringField(max_length=120, required=True)
author = db.ReferenceField(User)
content = db.EmbeddedDocumentField(Content)
api.register(Post, '/posts')
```
With this app, following cURL commands could be used:
```
Create a Post:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d \
'{"title": "First post!", "author_id": "author_id_from_a_previous_api_call", "content": {"text": "this is our test post content"}}' http://0.0.0.0:5000/posts/
{
"id": "1",
"title": "First post!",
"author": "author_id_from_a_previous_api_call",
"content": {
"text": "this is our test post content"
}
}
```
Get a Post:
```
curl http://0.0.0.0:5000/posts/1/
{
"id": "1",
"title": "First post!",
"author_id": "author_id_from_a_previous_api_call",
"content": {
"text": "this is our test post content"
}
}
```
List all Posts or filter by the title:
```
curl http://0.0.0.0:5000/posts/ or curl http://0.0.0.0:5000/posts/?title__startswith=First%20post
{
"data": [
{
"id": "1",
"title": "First post!",
"author_id": "author_id_from_a_previous_api_call",
"content": {
"text": "this is our test post content"
}
},
... other posts
]
}
```
Delete a Post:
```
curl -X DELETE http://0.0.0.0:5000/posts/1/
```
Request Params
==============
**skip** and **limit** => utilize the built-in functions of mongodb.
**order_by** => order results if this string is present in the Resource.allowed_ordering list.
