Flask-Viewsets

Flask-Viewsets is a Python package that provides a ViewSet class, inheriting from Flask's View, inspired by Django REST Framework's ViewSet. This package aims to streamline the development of RESTful APIs in Flask by offering a simple and flexible class-based view structure for mapping HTTP methods to defined actions on a per route basis.

Features

• Provides an easy-to-use class-based view to manage HTTP methods.
• Supports all HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, ...).
• Extensible and customizable for various use cases.

Installation

You can install Flask-Viewsets using pip:

pip install Flask-Viewsets

Usage

To use the ViewSet class, import it in your Flask application, define a viewset class by inheriting ViewSet, and implement the desired HTTP methods. Here’s a simple example:

# views.py
from flask_viewsets import ViewSet

class ExampleViewSet(ViewSet):
    def hello(self):
        return "Hello, world!"

    def echo(self, message: str):
        return message

# app.py
from flask import Flask

from . import views

app = Flask(__name__)
app.add_url_rule('/hello', view_func=views.ExampleViewSet.as_view({
    "get": "hello"
}))
app.add_url_rule('/echo/<string:message>', view_func=views.ExampleViewSet.as_view({
    "get": "echo"
}))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

Requirements

• Python ^3.12
• Flask ^3.0.3
