Flask Api Template

Overview

The flask-api-template is a repository that provides the basic tools for creating a Python REST API powered by Flask. It helps bootstrap a REST API using Flask by setting up the file and code structure, sample endpoint, requirements file, tests package, root Python file (index.py), GitHub Actions workflow for testing and linting, and a license. However, it does not set up serverless deployment, tox for local testing and linting, static analysis tools, or differentiate between application dependencies and development dependencies.

Features

• File and code structure with one sample endpoint
• requirements.txt already set up with everything needed for a working virtual environment
• A tests package for testing API endpoints
• A root Python file (index.py) for easy launching of the app on local machines and serverless compute environments
• GitHub Actions workflow for testing and linting the application with flake8
• A license

Summary

The flask-api-template is a convenient repository for quickly setting up a Python REST API powered by Flask. It provides essential tools and structure to get started with building an API, including a sample endpoint, test package, and GitHub Actions workflow for testing and linting. However, additional setup may be required depending on specific project requirements, such as serverless deployment, local testing and linting with tox, and the use of static analysis tools.
