DISCLAIMER

This Library currently supports only static routing. The dynamic routing will be added in the future release

Usage

Basic Usage

• Create a folder with a name home in the root dir of your project. You can rename home folder to custom name in router.config.json which should be created in the root dir.
• The folder home is gonna be workspace directory of your all api routes.
• e.g. for path home/api.py the route will http://localhost:<PORT>/api
• create and open app.py in the root dir of your project.

app.py

    # app.py
    from flask import Flask
    from flask.cors import CORS
    from flask_file_router.router import Router

    app = Flask(__name__)
    CORS(app)
    app.config['CORS_HEADERS'] = "Content-Type"

    Router(app).run()

    if __name__=="main":
        app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=4000, debug=True)

home/api.py

   # home/api.py
   from flask import request

   methods = ["POST"]  # put GET for GET request

   def main():  # This function have to be named as main. This gets triggered Whenever it hits api
        body = request['json']
        return ""

Configurations

{
  "root_dir": "./home", // name of the workspace home dir
  "default_index": "__main__.py", // This is the default index route for the given folder
  "ext_exclude_list": ["pyc"], // file with this extension will be ignored
  "ext_include_list": ["py"] //file with this extension will be considered for api router and rest are ignored
}

Note: ext_exclude_list and ext_include_list are exclusive porps. e.g. if ext_include_list provided ext_exclude_list will be ignored.

File Structure examples

Consider the following file system structure

• home/v1/api.py
• home/v1/__main__.py
• home/v1/get_user.py

The api router for the above file structure will be as follows

• https://localhost:4000/v1/api
• https://localhost:4000/v1
• https://localhost:4000/v1/get_user
