Flask RestPlus VS Flask

When it comes to Flask, in particular, there’re plenty of choices. And in fairness, not all frameworks are created equal. You’ve got flasgger, restx (successor of flask-restplus), flask-RESTful, and flask-smorest, to mention a few. How do you choose among those???

Common frameworks for building APIs in Python are the Django Rest Framework and Flask-RESTPLUS. Django developers can add the django-rest-swagger module via pip, whereas Flask-RESTPLUS has Swagger support built in. Both are very powerful in terms of automation, so they do not require a lot of configuration.

Examples include Swagger-Core, SpringFox, NSwag / Swashbuckle, Swagger-express / HAPI-Swagger, Django-REST-Swagger / Flask-RESTplus, etc.

I have an issue trying to setup CORS for my REST API. I'm currently using the Flask-Restplus package. Here's what my endpoints look like :

I have been googling, and i ran into discussions of this issue.And this seemed to be the fix that could work without me having to change the library or configurations on the server.

Nah, it’s flask-restplus - says so right on the GH page https://github.com/noirbizarre/flask-restplus

I'd suggest Flask or some of the smaller projects in the Pallets ecosystem:

https://github.com/pallets/flask

#!/usr/bin/python # # https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/3.0.x/installation/ # from flask import Flask, jsonify, request contacts = [ { "id": "1", "firstname": "Lorem", "lastname": "Ipsum", "email": "[email protected]", }, { "id": "2", "firstname": "Mauris", "lastname": "Quis", "email": "[email protected]", }, { "id": "3", "firstname": "Donec Purus", "lastname": "Purus", "email": "[email protected]", } ] app = Flask(__name__, static_url_path='', static_folder='public',) @app.route("/contact//save", methods=["PUT"]) def save_contact(id): data = request.json contacts[id - 1] = data return jsonify(contacts[id - 1]) @app.route("/contact/", methods=["GET"]) @app.route("/contact//edit", methods=["GET"]) def get_contact(id): return jsonify(contacts[id - 1]) @app.route('/') def root(): return app.send_static_file('index.html') if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(debug=True)

I was looking at all the big projects like numpy, pytorch, flask, etc.

I may use Flask-Admin initially to offload the "CRUD" operations to have an initial prototype fast but then drop it ASAP because I don't want to write a "flask-admin application" to fight against later on. If the application is mainly "CRUD", then Flask-Admin is suitable.

Now...

Would you do a breakdown/list of all the jobs you've done by sector/vertical and by function/role and by application functionality?

In the lab to follow, we will be setting up an end-to-end DevOps workflow for a Flask microservice with GitHub Actions, using a self-managed custom runner for maximal control over the pipeline execution environment and automating deployments to a local Kubernetes cluster. Furthermore, we will construct separate pipelines for our "development" and "production" environments to further elaborate on the concepts of continuous deployment and delivery.

Flask Micro web Framework: You will use Flask to build a Flask web application.

In an earlier post I mentioned a bunch of Open Source web applications. Let's now focus on the ones written in Python using Flask the light-weight web framework.
