Pyramid Rest Extension

Project description

Pyramid REST

  • First draft of a pyramid extension to build RESTful web application.

  • Features included:

    • resource definition which configure routes/views, i.e:

      • a resource ‘application’:

        • route [GET/POST] /applications

        • route [GET/DELETE/PUT] /applications/{application_id}

        • route GET /applications/{application_id}/new

        • route GET /applications/{application_id}/edit

      • a resource ‘application.user’:

        • route [GET/POST] /applications/{application_id}/users

        • route [GET/DELETE/PUT] /applications/{application_id}/users/{user_id}

        • route GET /applications/{application_id}/users/new

        • route GET /applications/{application_id}/users/edit

      • a singular resource ‘application.user.score’:

        • route [GET/PUT] /applications/{application_id}/users/{user_id}/score

        • route GET /applications/{application_id}/users/{user_id}/score/edit

    • resources are added to config introspector and related to their routes,views, sub-resource and parent resource;

    • end user defines REST methods (index, create, show, update, delete, new, edit);

    • by default:

      • HTTP 405 is returned for any method not provided;

      • permissions ‘index, create, show, update, delete, new, edit’ are associated to respective method;

  • 3 ways to configure resource:

    1. Imperative using config.add_resource, it will associate class in views module to resource

      config.add_resource('application')       # .views.applications:ApplicationsView
      config.add_resource('application.user')  # .views.application_users:ApplicationUsersView
    2. Declarative using Resource class (cornice style):

      app_users = Resource('application.user')
      
      @app_users.index()
      def index(context, request, application_id):
          pass
      
      @app_users.show()
      def show(context, request, application_id, id):
          pass
    3. Declarative using resource_config decorator:

      @resource_config('application.user')
      class AppUsers(object):
      
          def __init__(self, context, request):
              pass
      
          def index(self, application_id):
              return {}
      
          @method_config(renderer='example.mako')
          def edit(self, application_id, id):
              return {}

What next?

  1. Security

  2. HTTP PATCH method: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789

  3. Resource Scaffolding command;

  4. Links;

  5. Validation;

  6. Pagination;

  7. Automatic resource definition of SQLAlchemy entities;

  8. Have a view parameter in add_resource to override view definition;
