An introduction
Project motivations
I have been working off Flask for a quite time now; and since Python is a language about being better (also a better you) i am trying to rewrite my base work in a cleaner way.
Should i use this?
I think this repo would be usefull to fork if you are planning to write a project where you know you want to use Flask as REST API endpoint somewhere.
- First you could write mocks for your interface to test
- Then implement them with whatever you want as background middleware e.g. FS (irods), graphDB (neo4j), whatever
Ideal scheduling
- A scratch mock as generic as possible
- Add as soon as possible few design patterns: logs, configuration, etc.
- Fork this repo for an advanced and generic REST API
- Add cool stuff (admin dashboard, app DB ORM, queues, workers, etc.) Note: i am up to here
- But KEEP IT AS GENERIC AS POSSIBLE...!
What it will be based on
- Flask (obviously)
- Jinja2 templating
- Flask Cors
- Flask Restful plugin (even if evaluating Flask Classy, also)
- Flask Security Simple RBAC + OAuth tokens + encryption + user registration + Login + Principal
- Flask Admin interface
Still to be added:
- Plumbum
- Flask-JWT
- Tracestack
- Flask Cache
- Flask Uploads
- OAuth2?
- Alembic? migrations for SQLalchemy
Help needed
The project was created during spare time and since i needed to go directly to the main part i wrote no tests, and i regret it.
I am no expert with unittest or nose, help would be much appreciated. Also JWT and OAuth2 are two security aspects i think that should be covered, but again i have almost zero experience on both.
If you like this project considering writing functionality with Pull Requests. Thank you.
