SimpleRestApi

SimpleRestAPI is the library for launch REST API based on your SQLAlchemy models.

Documentation: https://simplerestapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Features

• Minimum code. You don't need create any endpoints. All of you need is your SQLAlchemy models.
• You can customize your endpoints. For example, you can deny some methods or customize the endpoint's path.
• Under hood SimpleApi use Starlette.

Installation

pip install simplerestapi

Also you need install uvicorn.

pip install uvicorn

Usage

1. Create models.py

from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, create_engine
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base

from simplerestapi.endpoint import ConstructEndpoint, Endpoint

Base = declarative_base(metaclass=ConstructEndpoint)


class CustomUser(Base, Endpoint):
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String)
    surname = Column(String)
    age = Column(Integer)


class Car(Base, Endpoint):
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name_model = Column(String)
    production = Column(String)
    year = Column(Integer)

You need to add metaclass=ConstructEndpoint to parameters declarative_base and to inherit your table class from Endpoint.

You don't need to add attribute __tablename__ to your table class, because the name of the table is constructed automatic like cls.__name__.lower().

You can add class ConfigEndpoint to config your endpoint, for more information see Configuration endpoint .

2. Create app.py

import os

import uvicorn

import models
from simplerestapi.main import SimpleApi

app = SimpleApi(models, db='postgresql://db_user:[email protected]/db_name')

You can use the parameter debug=False to turn off debug mode.

3. Run application

uvicorn app:app.app --reload
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
INFO:     Started reloader process [250901] using statreload
INFO:     Started server process [250903]
INFO:     Waiting for application startup.
INFO:     Application startup complete.

4. Use REST API
   You can use methods GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE in endpoints:

• http://127.0.0.1:8000/car - GET for retrieve list of models.Car items, support filters, example ?name=SomeName, POST for create new item in DB.
• http://127.0.0.1:8000/car/1 - GET for retrieve one item with id=1, also you can use PUT, PATCH for update item, DELETE for delete item from DB.

Similar endpoints are availible for all you models.
