flask-fullstack 0.5.9

A utility package for projects using flask, sqlalchemy, socketio and pytest

Flask-Fullstack

Flask-Fullstack is an utils package for projects using a fleet of libs:

• Flask
• Flask-RESTX
• SQLAlchemy
• Flask-SQLAlchemy
• SocketIO & Flask-SocketIO
• pytest
• pydantic-marshals

It is currently in deep development. Package is maintained by one programmer (hey that me!). In this readme you can find:

• Install instructions
• Quick start guide
• Current features
• Planned features

Install

Add the library to your project

pip install flask-fullstack  # via pip
poetry add flask-fullstack  # via poetry

Working with this repository

pip install poetry==1.5.1
poetry install

Quick Start

TBD

Features

Interfaces & Mixins

• Database Interfaces: Implement these to later automate searching & authorization (see below)
• Mixins with Decorators: Classes full of useful decorators to be used in less abstract context (see below)

RESTX improvements

• New Marshals: form SQLAlchemy to Pydantic and then to the Response Marshaling
• Upgraded Parsers: just a couple of commonly used parsers to .copy()
• Resource Controller: RESTX's Namespace, but with access to useful decorators from mixins

New Marshals

New models, created in flask_fullstack.restx.marshals, are a translation layer between Pydantic & RESTX's own Models. These models also support being created from SQLAlchemy tables via Column reflection

For Pydantic, it only supports as fields: the keys of flask_fullstack.restx.marshals.type_to_field, lists and nesting other Pydantic models

For SQLAlchemy, it only supports converting columns of types in the keys of flask_fullstack.restx.marshals.column_to_field

SocketIO eXtensions

• Understandable Events: Makes possible automatic documentation, data validation (with New Marshals or pure Pydantic) & emits not just by the event's name
• Event Controller: Used to group events & provide access to useful decorators from mixins
• Upgraded Structures: Propagating new events & other utils to Flask-SocketIO's Namespaces & the SocketIO class itself

Other Utils

• SQLAlchemy Simplified: creating objects, parsing query results, deleting objects
• New Columns: JSON with Schema or a RESTX Model to use in New Marshals
• Named: If some class attribute needs to know the attribute name
• Other: Utils for dicts, pydantic, pytest, unpacking RESTX responses, TypeEnum, etc
• Core: For simplifying the common project setup steps

Future

TBA
