py-easy-rest 0.2.0

The simplest way to have a rest api

py-easy-rest

It is a lib to create fast and scalable rest apis based on JSON schema in a very simple way. It is based on Sanic and it has built in extensions to add repositories and caches.

Getting Started

How to install

pip install py-easy-rest

Coding your app

It will use by default an in memory repository. It is not recommended to production applications. The next sections of this documentation will show you ways to integrate your application with Mongo DB and ways to use cache strategies. You can also create your own repositories and cache strategies to integrate your app with other technologies.

#main.py

from py_easy_rest.server import App


config = {
    "name": "Project Name",
    "schemas": [{
        "name": "Mock",
        "slug": "mock",
        "properties": {
            "name": {"type": "string"},
            "age": {"type": "integer"},
        },
        "required": ["name"],
    }]
}

pyrApp = App(config)

pyrApp.app.run(
    host='0.0.0.0',
    port=8000,
    debug=True,
    auto_reload=True,
)

Running it

python main.py

Now you can access http://localhost:8000/swagger to access your api documentation.

Integrating with Repositories

It is possible to add a repository to your application persist data into some data base. By default it will use a in memory repository, witch is not recommended to production environment.

To create your own repository, you just need to implement our Repo and pass it to the App:

pyrApp = App(config, repo=MyOwnRepo())

Mongo Repository

#main.py
from motor.motor_asyncio import AsyncIOMotorClient

from py_easy_rest.server import App
from py_easy_rest.repos.mongo import MongoRepo


config = {
    "name": "Project Name",
    "schemas": [{
        "name": "Mock",
        "slug": "mock",
        "properties": {
            "name": {"type": "string"},
            "age": {"type": "integer"},
        },
        "required": ["name"],
    }]
}

repo = MongoRepo()

pyrApp = App(config, repo=repo)

@pyrApp.app.listener('before_server_start')
def init(app, loop):
    mongo_db_instance = AsyncIOMotorClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/db")
    db = mongo_db_instance.get_default_database()
    collection = db["default"]
    repo.set_db_collection(collection)


pyrApp.app.run(
    host='0.0.0.0',
    port=8000,
    debug=True,
    auto_reload=True,
)

Integrating with Cache Strategies

It is possible to add a cache to your application. By default it will not use a cache, but you can choice a built in option or create your own cache.

To create your own cache, you just need to implement our Cache and pass it to the App:

pyrApp = App(config, cache=MyOwnCache())

Redis cache

#main.py
from py_easy_rest.server import App
from py_easy_rest.caches.redis import RedisCache


config = {
    "name": "Project Name",
    "schemas": [{
        "name": "Mock",
        "slug": "mock",
        "properties": {
            "name": {"type": "string"},
            "age": {"type": "integer"},
        },
        "required": ["name"],
    }]
}

cache = RedisCache("redis://localhost")

pyrApp = App(config, cache=cache)

pyrApp.app.run(
    host='0.0.0.0',
    port=8000,
    debug=True,
    auto_reload=True,
)

Memory cache

#main.py
from py_easy_rest.server import App
from py_easy_rest.caches.memory import MemoryCache


config = {
    "name": "Project Name",
    "schemas": [{
        "name": "Mock",
        "slug": "mock",
        "properties": {
            "name": {"type": "string"},
            "age": {"type": "integer"},
        },
        "required": ["name"],
    }]
}

cache = MemoryCache()

pyrApp = App(config, cache=cache)

pyrApp.app.run(
    host='0.0.0.0',
    port=8000,
    debug=True,
    auto_reload=True,
)

Middlewares and Listeners

An instance of a py_easy_rest.server.App has a property called app that is a Sanic app. You can use this property to add middlewares and listeners. Take a look at the docs: Middlewares, Take a look at the docs: Listeners
