Why Use this Library?¶
Using Flask to create a REST based microservice is a daunting process which will definitely require the use of many different Flask extensions which will really slow down the process of actually writing a functional REST microservice that can be used safely in a production environment. This library seeks to use the best Flask extensions loosely combined together to deliver a delightful developer experience by providing the following functionality out-of-the-box:
Create database models using the industry standard SQLAlchemy ORM
Leverage those same database models to create schemas for marshalling data in and out of your Flask endpoints defined via Blueprints
Provide automatic OpenAPI docs for quickly developing and testing your Flask application without the need of external tools like curl, Postman or Hoppscotch
- Generate OpenAPI clients for a variety of languages
Endpoints for generating Python and Typescript clients already included!
- Protect endpoints with JWT security with a OpenID Connect IAM like Auth0 or Keycloak
Optionally control access to endpoints using RBAC
Quickly enable pagination and ETag support for your endpoints
Easily manage database migrations using Alembic through the fantastic Flask-Migrate library and command-line tools
