A small repository of projects built in my course, REST APIs with Flask and Python.

Last update: Jan 05, 2023

Overview

REST APIs with Flask and Python

This repository contains code that is created in my course, REST APIs with Flask and Python.

The code is divided in folders, one for each section of the course which contains code.

Section 2

The code is in files numbered between 1 and 11, covering concepts ranging from beginner to advanced.

Variables
Methods
Lists, tuples, and sets
If statements
List comprehension
Dictionaries
Classes and objects
Static and class methods
Args and Kwargs
Passing functions as arguments
Decorators

Section 3

The code in this section includes a simple Flask app and a HTML and JavaScript file which calls the Flask app endpoints.

Section 4

The code in this section includes a Flask app which is an API that represents items. It also includes user registration and authentication.

Section 5

The code in this section extends the last section by adding persistent storage of Items to a SQLite database.

Section 6

The code in this section extends the previous section by replacing the manual integration with SQLite, with SQLAlchemy—an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping)—which allows us to easily replace SQLite with something like PostgreSQL or MySQL.

Comments

Small typo in the "How To Deploy Python App Using uWSGI And Nginx" guide

The guide is located here.

After it is installed, we can create a virtualenv:

virtualenv venv --python==python3.5

From looking at the virtualenv documentation, I believe it should be a single equals sign in the command. virtualenv venv --python=python3.5

This is a great guide, thank you!

Added user logout using blacklist and revoking jit

To perform user logout, it is recommended that we blacklist individual tokens (which can be identified with their unique jit) and keep track of them (normally in a database, but in this case in an in-memory set).

Added a UserLogout resource and modified the blacklist loader slightly to achieve this.

Fix dependencies and imports in SQL Storage section (s06)

While recording the video on cascades, I noticed that flask-sqlalchemy was missing from the requirements.txt in every start/end folder of this section.

Also, in models/__init__.py there were some extra imports that shouldn't have been there.

feat(insomnia files): add info in e-book about insomnia exports
This PR adds:

A callout at the beginning of each section to remind students about the Insomnia export files, which they can import so they don't have to create the Insomnia collections manually.

A new page, /insomnia-files/ in the e-book site that explains how to import and use the export files.

Also, this PR removes the docs-upcoming folder which contained obsolete content.

Add links to Udemy course throughout e-book

In this PR I've added some embedded videos to the e-book as a preview of the Udemy Course for those students who are reading the e-book but haven't purchased the course. I've also added a few links to the Udemy Course, trying to be as unobtrusive as possible.

Release section on task queues and fix a few issues
New Content

Section 12 on using task queues with rq to send emails through Mailgun, #83, #85

Updated Content

Remove before_first_request in Flask apps, since now the recommended approach is to just do any necessary setup inside create_app(), #77

Remove db.create_all() from create_app() when using Flask-Migrate, since it is Flask-Migrate that creates the tables, #78

Add information to the e-book on how to make sure tag and item have the same store id when linking them, #79

Added missing required arguments in Flask-JWT-Extended callbacks, #81

Added missing hostname in the command to run Flask using the Flask development server in Docker, #82

bug(docker): fix missing hostname when running flask in docker
https://rest-apis-flask.teclado.com/docs/deploy_to_render/docker_with_gunicorn/

This lecture was showing this command:

docker run -dp 5000:5000 -w /app -v "$(pwd):/app" teclado-site-flask sh -c "flask run"

But this should be this:

docker run -dp 5000:5000 -w /app -v "$(pwd):/app" teclado-site-flask sh -c "flask run --host 0.0.0.0"

Otherwise running the Flask app in development mode locally will work, but it will not be accessible from outside the container's network (i.e. you can't connect to it from the host).

v2.0.0-alpha.1(May 27, 2022)
First release of the v2 of the course 🎉

We've written a few sections of our upcoming course! These sections are available for free in the course e-book (still a work in progress, but these are the finished sections):

#43 Using Docusaurus instead of Vuepress

Your First REST API. A guide to getting started with Flask to make a REST API. Added via #44 and #45.

An Introduction to Docker for Flask. This section guides you quickly through what Docker is and how to use it. Added via #46.

Flask-Smorest for More Efficient Development. Here we talk about a Flask extension for creating REST APIs, similar (but a bit better) to Flask-RESTful (which we use in the current version of the REST APIs with Flask and Python course). Added via #47 and #48.

Source code(tar.gz)
Source code(zip)
v1.0.1(May 27, 2022)
#34

#39 and updated PDFs with the updated content

Updated README.md file so it's a bit clearer what's going on. Both direct on the master branch (sorry!) and via #49

Source code(tar.gz)
Source code(zip)
v1.0.0(Jul 2, 2021)
Although this isn't the first actual release of this course, it's the first official release. That's why we're calling it v1.0.0.

There have been a few changes since the original course was made (and that possibly differs from what's on Udemy):

Guides written for deployments, with #6 , #7, #8, #9, #22, #29, and #30 .

Flask-JWT-Extended added (this is the last section on the Udemy course) via #14, #15, #16, and #17

Bugs fixed with #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #13, #19, #20, #23, #25

Moving forward our plan is to work in public, share our decisions about what we cover and don't cover, and show the changes we make over time.

We'll make use of GitHub Discussions for the Teclado team to talk about the course. If you have suggestions that haven't been mentioned before, please feel free to add them to the Discussions section, under "Ideas". Please don't use the GitHub Discussions to ask questions about the course (use the Udemy Course Q&A or our Discord server for that!).

We'll use Issues and Pull Requests (and maybe Projects) to track our work publicly over time.
