eaasy 0.2.5

Build your e-commerce ea(a)sily

Environemnt As A Software

Build an environment with a database and a REST API.

Requirements

• Python 3.12
• PostgreSQL 13.4
• Redis 6.2.6 (optional but recommended)

Initial setup

Create a database in PostgreSQL:

create database database_name;

Create a virtual environment and install the dependencies:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

Set the environment variables:

POSTGRES_URI=<SQL_DATABASE_URI>

# macOS only
OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES

# Optional for Redis
REDIS_URI=<REDIS_URI>

Initialize alembic:

# alembic_init.py
from eaasy.extensions.migration import init
from argparse import ArgumentParser, Namespace as ArgumentNamespace

def get_arguments() -> ArgumentNamespace:
    parser = ArgumentParser(description='Alembic migration helper')
    parser.add_argument('sql_url', metavar='sql_url', type=str, help='SQLAlchemy URL')
    parser.add_argument('--path', '-p', metavar='path', type=str, help='Alembic path', default='src/alembic')
    parser.add_argument('--tables-folder', '-t', metavar='tables_folder', type=str, help='Tables folder', default='src/tables')

    args = parser.parse_args()

    if not args.sql_url:
        raise Exception('SQLAlchemy URL is required')

    return args

if __name__ == '__main__':
    args = get_arguments()
    init(args.sql_url, args.path, args.tables_folder)

Launch the script to build the alembic folder:

python alembic_init.py <SQL_DATABASE_URI> # --path src/alembic (optional)

Create a table:

# src/tables/user.py
from eaasy import BaseEntity, Audit
from sqlalchemy import Column, String

class UserProperties:
    firstName = Column(String, nullable=False)
    lastName = Column(String, nullable=False)
    email = Column(String, nullable=False, unique=True)


class User(BaseEntity, UserProperties, Audit):
    __tablename__ = 'users'

And add it to the src/tables/__init__.py file:

# src/tables/__init__.py
from .user import User

__all__ = ['User']

Run the migration:

alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Create users table"
alembic upgrade head

Run the application

Create a main module:

# app.py

from eaasy import Eaasy, GunEaasy
from eaasy.extensions import buil_model, build_resource
from src.tables.user import User, UserProperties

api = Eaasy(
    name=__name__,
    title='API',
    version='1.0',
    description='A simple API',
    doc='/swagger'
)

# Create models for User resource (GET, POST and PUT)
user_ns, get_model = buil_model(User)
user_ns, upsert_model = buil_model(UserProperties, namespace=user_ns)

# Build and register resource
build_resource(User, user_ns, get_model, upsert_model)

# # Add namespace to API
api.add_namespace(user_ns)

app = api.get_app() # Required if you want to perform flask operations

if __name__ == '__main__':
    options = {
        'bind': '%s:%s' % ('0.0.0.0', '8080'),
        'workers': 1
    }
    GunEaasy(app, options).run()

Run the application:

python app.py
# or
gunicorn app:app
# or
flask run

Features

Custom endpoints

By default the build_resource method build a resource with these enabled endpoints:

• get_all -> GET /entity/ # Get all entities
• post -> POST /entity/ # Create new entity
• get_by_id -> GET /entity/id:int # Get entity by id
• put -> PUT /entity/id:int # Edit entity by id
• delete -> DELETE /entity/id:int # Delete entity by id

You can disable one or more endpoints by setting to False the correspoing key, for instance:

# Build resource without get_by_id endpoint
build_resource(User, user_ns, get_model, upsert_model, get_by_id=False)

Callbacks

You can add callbacks to the resources:

def after_post(data):
    print(data.firstName) # 'data' represent the model of the object created after the POST request

build_resource(User, user_ns, get_model, upsert_model, on_post=after_post)

Available callbacks:

• on_post
• on_put
• on_delete

Limit rate

API requests can be limited by the number of requests in an interval of time.

NOTE: the application should be running with Redis properly configured. See environment variables in Initial setup section.

You can set the limit for all methods:

build_resource(User, user_ns, get_model, upsert_model, limit='5 per minute')

Or specify a limit for each method:

build_resource(User, user_ns, get_model, upsert_model, get_all_limit='5 per minute')

Available arguments:

• get_all_limit
• get_by_id_limit
• post_limit
• put_limit
• delete_limit

Logger

By providing logger parameter in Eaasy class you can:

api = Eaasy(
    logger=True # Configure default logger
)

api = Eaasy(
    logger=custom_logger # Or provide your own logger
)

And you can also extract and wherever you want (especially if you want to use the default one):

logger = api.logger # This raises an exception if not configured

OpenIDConnect (from flask_oidc)

Same for the OpenIdConnet instance:

api = Eaasy(
    oidc=True # Configure default OIDC
)

api = Eaasy(
    oidc=OpenIDConnect(app) # Or provide your own OIDC (OpenIDConnect from flask_oidc package only)
)

Extract and use it:

oidc = api.oidc # This raises an exception if not configured

Refer to flask_oidc docs for OpenIDConnect configuration (make sure that the installed version matches the version described in the docs).

You can set the accept_token decorator for all methods:

build_resource(User, user_ns, get_model, upsert_model, oidc=app.oidc)

Or specify the accept_token decorator for each method:

build_resource(User, user_ns, get_model, upsert_model, get_all_oidc=app.oidc)

Available arguments:

• get_all_oidc
• get_by_id_oidc
• post_oidc
• put_oidc
• delete_oidc

To introduce other decorators please create your own resource and set the required decorators.

Refer to flask_restx docs for decorators configuration (make sure that the installed version matches the version described in the docs).
