How It Works

This module helps to generate secure APIs using Flask-restX via a simple workflow:

• Edit/add your model in apps/models.py
• Migrate the database:

$ flask db init     # this should be executed only once
$ flask db migrate  # Generates the SQL 
$ flask db upgrade  # Apply changes 

• Update Configuration:
  • apps/config .py, section API_GENERATOR
• Generate the API code:
  • $ flask gen_api # the new code is saved in apps/api
• Access the API in the browser:
  • /api/MODEL_NAME/

The API is secured using the JWT tocken provided by /login/jwt/ request (username & password should be provided).

• GET requests are public (GET all, get Item)
• Mutating requests are protected by token generated based on the user credentials (username, pass).

Two POSTMAN Collections are provided in the media directory:

• Books API - that uses PORT *5000 for the api
• Books API 2 - that uses PORT *5085 for the api (default port in Docker)

In case both port are unusable in your environment, feel free to edit the files before POSTMAN import.
