Python Flask REST API Resourceful Blueprints Ingredient Resource

What am I doing wrong Here?

I appear to not understand what to do with this API question

models.py
import datetime

from peewee import *

DATABASE = SqliteDatabase('recipes.db')


class Recipe(Model):
    name = CharField()
    created_at = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)

    class Meta:
        database = DATABASE


# TODO: Ingredient model
# name - string (e.g. "carrots")
# description - string (e.g. "chopped")
# quantity - decimal (e.g. ".25")
# measurement_type - string (e.g. "cups")
# recipe - foreign key
class Ingredients(Model):
    name = CharField()
    description = CharField()
    quantity = FloatField()
    measurement_type = CharField()
    recipe = ForeignKeyField()

    class Meta:
        database = DATABASE

Hey Daniel Kolb ! Great work so far, you're actually SUPER close!

First, the challenge is asking for an Ingredient class, rather than an Ingredients class.

Next, be sure to check the usage of a ForeignKeyField, something is missing from the syntax that is causing an error. You can check this by revisiting the last two videos or by checking the Docs for Peewee!

Finally, quantity is a DecimalField rather than a FloatField!

You got this! :D
