Toolkit for building web API's using Odin

Project description

=======
OdinWeb
=======

A Restful API framework for Python that uses Odin Resources with native support for `Swagger <https://swagger.io>`_
and an integrated Swagger-UI.

The initial development effort currently supports:

- `Flask <http://flask.pocoo.org/>`_
- `Bottle <https://bottlepy.org>`_
- `Django <https://wwww.djangoproject.org/>`_ - Odin/Django integration is already implemented with
`baldr <https://github.com/python-odin/baldr>`_. Odin Web is an evolution of the design of baldr. Baldr still includes
other integration between django and odin, once merged Baldr will be depreciated

With the following frameworks to be included once a stable API is established:

- `Retort <https://github.com/timsavage/retort>`_ - A Flask/Bottle like framework for AWS Lambda/API Gateway

There are no plans at this point for other libraries although I'm open to suggestions/contributions. The effort
required to integrate other libraries is minimal as Odin Web was designed to be agnostic of the framework it is
running within.

.. note::
Odin Web is being developed very much with a view to dropping support for Python 2.7 in the future, back-ported
versions of several Python 3.x features are utilised in the design (eg :py:mod:`enum` :py:mod:`http`).


Installation
============

An early Alpha release is on PyPI, the API has however undergone significant changes since this was first put out the
best option is to checkout a tagged release from GitHub until a beta is ready that will solidify the API

Install the core library::

git clone git@github.com:python-odin/odinweb.git
cd odinweb
python setup.py install

Install your preferred web framework::

git clone git@github.com:python-odin/odinweb.flask.git
# or
git clone git@github.com:python-odin/odinweb.bottle.git
# or
git clone git@github.com:python-odin/odinweb.django.git

# Change into the appropriate directory then
python setup.py install


Quickstart
==========

Odin Web is very much oriented around Resources so first define your resources::

import odin

class User(odin.Resource):
"""
User resource
"""
id = odin.IntegerField()
username = odin.StringField()
first_name = odin.StringField()
last_name = odin.StringField()
email = odin.EmailField()


Next define your API::

from odinweb import api

USERS = [
User(1, 'pimpstar24', 'Bender', 'Rodreges', 'bender@ilovebender.com'),
User(2, 'zoidberg', 'Zoidberg', '', 'zoidberg@freemail.web'),
User(3, 'amylove79', 'Amy', 'Wong', 'awong79@marslink.web'),
]
USER_ID = len(USERS)


class UserApi(api.ResourceApi):
resource = User
tags = ['user']

@api.listing
def get_user_list(self, request, offset, limit):
return USERS[offset:offset+limit], len(USERS)

@api.create
def create_user(self, request, user):
global USER_ID

# Add user to list
USER_ID += 1
user.id = USER_ID
USERS.append(user)

return user

@api.detail
def get_user(self, request, resource_id):
"""
Get a user object
"""
for user in USERS:
if user.id == resource_id:
return user

raise api.Error.from_status(api.HTTPStatus.NOT_FOUND)

@api.delete
def delete_user(self, request, resource_id):
for idx, user in enumerate(USERS):
if user.id == resource_id:
USERS.remove(user)
return api.create_response(200)

raise api.Error.from_status(api.HTTPStatus.NOT_FOUND)

This defines an API for listing, fetching and creating a users.

Finally hookup to your web framework, in this case Flask and enable swagger spec::

from flask import Flask
from odinweb.flask import ApiBlueprint
from odinweb.swagger import SwaggerSpec

app = flask.Flask(__name__)

app.register_blueprint(
ApiBlueprint(
# Use an API version
api.ApiVersion(
SwaggerSpec('Flask Example API', enable_ui=True), # Support for Swagger!
UserApi(),
),
debug_enabled=True, # Enable debug output
),
)

Start the flask app and you can browse to the swagger UI to try out the API::

http://localhost:5000/api/v1/swagger/ui
