Create somehow-RESTful HTTP APIs with Flask
Project description
Sorry, no documentation yet, this is totally pre-alpha quality.
I just needed something to implement somehow RESTful (or, to be precise, what I consider RESTful) API. I’ve looked around for a readily available solution, but didn’t found anything that suited my needs and desires. So I’ve wrote a hopefully reusable library to do it.
See feature list below for main points about this library.
Features
What’s implemented:
Extensible (de)serialization for both input and output, with HTTP content-type negotiation.
Handling of GET and PATCH requests (object retrieval and modification)
Relatively flexible field-level permissions. Could be always supplemented by TastyPie-like hydration/dehydration methods.
SQLAlchemy model helpers.
What’s missing:
Examples.
Documentation. There are some docstrings in source code, but not much.
POST, PUT and DELETE requests (object creation and deletion).
Overriding negotiation using query string (i.e. ?format=json)
Pagination helpers. Pagination is possible, but you have to do it by hand.
Nested resources.
Better test coverage.
