app.py creates a flask app with routes to test user model creation and update.

Routes

List all users:

GET /api/v1/users/

Returns all users in JSON format.

Creating new user:

POST /api/v1/create/

Form data:

Field	Description	Optional
email	User email, primary key	no
first_name	First name of the user	yes
last_name	Last name of the user	yes

Updating user properties:

PATCH /api/v1/update/

Form data:

Field	Description	Optional
email	User email, primary key	no
first_name	First name of the user	yes
last_name	Last name of the user	yes

Both methods are designed to work with arbitrary fields. However, currently email, first_name and last_name are the only editable properties of the User model. Any other value passed that's not a property of the User method will be ignored.

Running and testing locally

docker-compose up --build

The above command will build and run the web service defined by the Dockerfile in ./webapp folder. A local folder inside the container will be used to keep sqlite data.

To obtain container's ip address use the command docker inspect <containerNameOrId> | grep '"IPAddress"'. Something like;

docker inspect funwithorm_web_1 | grep '"IPAddress"'

Running tests

docker-compose run web python -m unittest discover -v

Example: creating a user

curl -d '{"first_name":"kerem", "email":"[email protected]"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://172.18.0.2:5000/api/v1/create

{
  "created_at": "Wed, 29 May 2019 18:50:43 GMT", 
  "deleted_at": null, 
  "email": "[email protected]", 
  "first_name": "kerem", 
  "last_name": null, 
  "updated_at": "Wed, 29 May 2019 18:50:43 GMT"
}

Example: updating existing user

curl -d '{"first_name":"not kerem", "email":"[email protected]"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PATCH http://172.18.0.2:5000/api/v1/update

{
  "created_at": "Wed, 29 May 2019 18:50:43 GMT", 
  "deleted_at": null, 
  "email": "[email protected]", 
  "first_name": "not kerem", 
  "last_name": null, 
  "updated_at": "Wed, 29 May 2019 18:51:39 GMT"
}
