Implementing delete recipe

• Lets try to implement the Delete recipe functionality.
• Refer Here for the changes done to implement the DELETE verb and added tests in postman.
• Refer Here for the corrected tests in postman

Flask-Restful

• Refer Here for the official documentation.
• Flask-RESTful is a Flask extension that allows us to quickly develop RESTFUL APIs.
• In the previous example, we have used @app.route decorator, Compared to this Flask-RESTful allows us to maintain and structure the API Endpoints in a much better and easier
• Lets try to Create our own Recipe-Sharing Platform "InstaCook"
• Lets create a new project InstaCook
  • Using Pycharm Terminal Install python packages

  pip install flask-restful
  pip freeze > requirements.txt
  

  • Now create a Debugger configuration
• First we will build all the basic CRUD functions of the recipes.
• Create a Recipe Model:
  • Recipe may have several attributes, to save the every details of these attributes we will model the recipe using class. Lets try to describe attributes
    • name: The name of the recipe
    • description: The description of the recipe
    • num_of_serving: The number of servings
    • cook_time: This cooking time requred in seconds
    • directions: The directions
    • is_publish: The publish status of the recipe; the default value is false which means draft
  • Lets create a new python package models and in the models package add a recipe.py
  • Refer Here for the changes done
• Resourceful Routing:
  • The main building blocks in Flask-RESTful are resources.
  • Resources are build of Flask’s pluggable view.
  • The concept of resourceful routing is that we want to structure all the client request around resources.
  • In our recipe-sharing platform, we are going to group the CRUD actions ona recipe under RecipeResource.
  • Lets Create a folder called resources and then create recipe.py under resources
  • Refer Here for the RecipeListResource Skeleton
