Rest framework for aiohttp web server

aiohttp-rest-framework

---

Fully asynchronous rest framework for aiohttp web server, inspired by Django Rest Framework (DRF), powered by marshmallow and SQLAlchemy.

Currently supports only combination of postgres (thanks to aiopg) and sqlalchemy.

Installation

pip install aiohttp-rest-framework

Usage example

Consider we have the following sqlalchemy tables (models):

from uuid import uuid4

import sqlalchemy as sa
from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql import UUID

meta = sa.MetaData()

users = sa.Table(
    "users", meta,
    sa.Column("id", UUID(as_uuid=True), primary_key=True, default=uuid4),
    sa.Column("name", sa.Text),
    sa.Column("email", sa.Text, unique=True),
    sa.Column("phone", sa.Text),
    sa.Column("company_id", sa.ForeignKey("companies.id"), nullable=True),
)

companies = sa.Table(
    "companies", meta,
    sa.Column("id", UUID(as_uuid=True), primary_key=True, default=uuid4),
    sa.Column("name", sa.Text),
)

Now we can use very familiar to us from DRF serializer, built on top of marshmalow's Schema:

from aiohttp_rest_framework import serializers

from app.models import users


class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = users
        fields = "__all__"

And, finally, now we can use our serializer in class based views:

from aiohttp_rest_framework import views

from app.serializers import UserSerializer


class UsersListCreateView(views.ListCreateAPIView):
    serializer_class = UserSerializer


class UsersRetrieveUpdateDestroyView(views.RetrieveUpdateDestroyAPIView):
    serializer_class = UserSerializer

Our simple app would look like this:

from aiohttp import web
from aiohttp_rest_framework import setup_rest_framework

from app import views


app = web.Application()
app.router.add_view("/users", views.UsersListCreateView)
app.router.add_view("/users/{id}", views.UsersRetrieveUpdateDestroyView)
setup_rest_framework(app)
web.run_app(app)

Mention setup_rest_framework() function, it is required to call it to configure framework to work with your app. For available rest framework's config options refer to documentation. For detailed aiohttp web app configuration please refer to their docs.

After starting the app, we can make a POST /users request to create a new user.

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" 
     -d '{
            "name": "John Doe",
            "email": "[e-mail]",
            "phone": "[phone]"
         }'
     -X POST http://localhost:8080/users

And get the following HTTP 201 Response:

{
  "id": "aa392cc9-c734-44ff-9d7c-1602ecb4df2a",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "[e-mail]",
  "phone": "[phone]",
  "company_id": null
}

Let's try to update user's company. Making PATCH /users/aa392cc9-c734-44ff-9d7c-1602ecb4df2a request

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" 
     -d '{"company_id": "0413de74-d9fb-494b-ba56-b56599261fb0"}'
     -X PATCH http://localhost:8080/users/a392cc9-c734-44ff-9d7c-1602ecb4df2a

HTTP 200 Response:

{
  "id": "aa392cc9-c734-44ff-9d7c-1602ecb4df2a",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "[e-mail]",
  "phone": "[phone]",
  "company_id": "0413de74-d9fb-494b-ba56-b56599261fb0"
}
