Developing an API for a Distributed Environment
I tried out one of Pythons libraries called FastAPI to create a simple todolist API with basic CRUD functionality. Although for the Summative assessment we will be utilizing Django, I wanted to play around with something new.

/add route
@app.post("/add")
def add(request: Request, title: str = Form(...), db: Session = Depends(get_db)):
new_todo = models.Todo(title=title)
db.add(new_todo)
db.commit()
url = app.url_path_for("home")
return RedirectResponse(url=url, status_code=status.HTTP_303_SEE_OTHER)
/update route
@app.get("/update/{todo_id}")
def update(request: Request, todo_id: int, db: Session = Depends(get_db)):
todo = db.query(models.Todo).filter(models.Todo.id == todo_id).first()
todo.complete = not todo.complete
db.commit()
url = app.url_path_for("home")
return RedirectResponse(url=url, status_code=status.HTTP_302_FOUND)
/delete route
@app.get("/delete/{todo_id}")
def delete(request: Request, todo_id: int, db: Session = Depends(get_db)):
todo = db.query(models.Todo).filter(models.Todo.id == todo_id).first()
db.delete(todo)
db.commit()
url = app.url_path_for("home")
return RedirectResponse(url=url, status_code=status.HTTP_302_FOUND)
