LitePolis-router Template

This repository serves as a template for creating router modules for LitePolis. It provides a basic structure and example code to guide you through the process.

:warning: Keep the prefix "litepolis-router-" and "litepolis_router_" in the name of package and directories to ensure the LitePolis package manager will be able to recognize it during deployment.

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository: Start by cloning this repository to your local machine.

2. Rename the Package: Update the package name in the following files:

   • setup.py: Change name='litepolis-router-template' to your desired package name (e.g., litepolis-router-dashboard). Also, update the version, description, author, and url fields accordingly.
   • tests/test_core.py: Update the import statement to reflect your new package name. For example, change from litepolis_router_template import * to from litepolis_router_dashboard import *.
   • Rename the folder litepolis_router_template to your new package name.

3. Implement Database Logic: Modify the litepolis_router_template/core.py file (renamed in the previous step) to interact with your specific database. The init function in core.py is crucial for initializing the router and should be implemented correctly. The DEFAULT_CONFIG dictionary in core.py allows for configurable settings. Ensure you update the docstrings to accurately reflect the functionality of your endpoints. These docstrings will be used to generate API documentation.

4. Testing: The tests/test_core.py file contains example tests. Update these tests to cover your database module's functionality. The test_core.py file should utilize the DEFAULT_CONFIG and init function to properly initialize the application for testing. Ensure the tests run successfully after making changes.

Key Files and Modifications

• setup.py: This file contains metadata about your package. Crucially, you need to change the name field to your package's unique name. Also, update the version, description, author, and url fields as needed.

• litepolis_router_template/core.py: This file contains the core logic for your module, including the DEFAULT_CONFIG and init function. The init function is essential for the LitePolis package manager to correctly initialize and start the services. The DEFAULT_CONFIG dictionary provides default configuration settings. Replace the example endpoints with your own endpoints and operations. Important: Update the docstrings for API documentation generation. Pay attention to the ResponseMessage model and adapt it if necessary to fit your data structures.

• tests/test_core.py: This file contains tests for your module. Update the tests to reflect your changes in core.py. Thorough testing is essential for ensuring the correctness of your module. Ensure your tests correctly utilize the init function and DEFAULT_CONFIG for proper setup.

Important Considerations

• API Documentation: Well-documented code is crucial for maintainability and collaboration. Ensure your endpoints in core.py have clear and comprehensive docstrings. These docstrings will be used to generate API documentation for LitePolis. For best practices and detailed examples, refer to this helpful resource: How to Document an API for Python FastAPI

• Testing: Write comprehensive tests to cover all aspects of your router module. This will help catch errors early and ensure the stability of your code.

• Dependencies: If your module requires external libraries, add them to the install_requires list in setup.py.

• DEFAULT_CONFIG and init: The DEFAULT_CONFIG dictionary and the init function are crucial for the package manager to correctly initialize and start the services. Ensure these are correctly implemented and used in your tests.
