# flask_nameko

A wrapper for using nameko services with Flask

## Installation

Install it via PyPI:

pip install flask_nameko

## Usage

To start using `flask_nameko`, you need to create and configure a new `FlaskPooledClusterRpcProxy` singleton, which you'll use to communicate with your Nameko cluster.

# __init__.py
from flask import Flask
from flask_nameko import FlaskPooledClusterRpcProxy

rpc = FlaskPooledClusterRpcProxy()

def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.update(dict(
NAMEKO_AMQP_URI='amqp://localhost'
))

rpc.init_app(app)

app = create_app()

Then, you can use the `FlaskPooledClusterRpcProxy` singleton just as you would normally use a `ClusterRpcProxy`, by accessing individual services by name and calling methods on them:

# routes.py

from . import (
app,
rpc
)

@app.route('/'):
def index():
result = rpc.service.do_something('test')
return result

## API

### Configuration

`FlaskPooledClusterRpcProxy` accepts all nameko configuration values, prefixed with the `NAMEKO_` prefix. In addition, it exposes additional configuration options:

* `NAMEKO_INITIAL_CONNECTIONS (int, default=2)` - the number of initial connections to the Nameko cluster to create
* `NAMEKO_MAX_CONNECTIONS (int, default=8)` - the max number of connections to the Nameko cluster to create before raises an error
* `NAMEKO_CONNECT_ON_METHOD_CALL (bool, default=True)` - whether connections to services should be loaded when the service is accessed (False) or when a method is called on a service (True)
* `NAMEKO_RPC_TIMEOUT` (int, default=None) - the default timeout before raising an error when trying to call a service RPC method
* `NAMEKO_POOL_RECYCLE` (int, default=None) - if specified, connections that are older than this interval, specified in seconds, will be automatically recycled on checkout. This setting is useful for environments where connections are happening through a proxy like HAProxy which automatically closes connections after a specified interval.

### Proxies

*flask_nameko.**FlaskPooledClusterRpcProxy**(app=None, connect_on_method_call=True)*

This class is used to create a pool of connections to a Nameko cluster. It provides the following options:

* `connect_on_method_call` - if this is true, the connection to a service is created when a method is called on a service rather than when the service is accessed

*init_app(app=None)*

Configure the proxy for a given app.
