Main classes

server.py

Initializes Kaa for each http request:

from kaa import KaaServer


class MyServer(KaaServer):

    def register_resources(self):
        self.kaa.register_resources("resources", "AppResources")

resources.py

This class define your resources (or routes):

from kaa import GET, PATH, Resources, Response, Status


class AppResources(Resources):

    @GET
    @PATH("/")
    def basic_resource(self, **params):
        return Response(Status.OK).json({
            "message": "your response"
        })

Starting server

Static mode (serve): Starts Kaa server in static mode. Every code change needs restart server manually.

You can change them adding host and port on kaa.json file:

  "port": 5111,
  // ...
}

Or in command line:
