1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,400
All right, so now it's time to
actually make the resources.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,060
And instead of creating
them as a single file or

3
00:00:08,060 --> 00:00:10,210
whatever, I'm gonna create
them as a directory.

4
00:00:11,670 --> 00:00:16,590
And gotta click on that and
I'm going to call those resources

5
00:00:17,790 --> 00:00:22,770
and then inside of here,
I need to make dunder and init.py.

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,470
And we don't need edit that file,
all right and

7
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:29,470
so now instead of here I'm going to
make a file for each of the resources.

8
00:00:29,470 --> 00:00:33,140
It's a little easier to just break these
things up in multiple files because

9
00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:37,920
they're a little bit bulky and you don't
have to do this but I highly suggest

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,090
doing this just because it makes
things a little easier to deal with.

11
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:44,960
So okay,
we're going to call this courses.py,

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,590
this is gonna be for our courses resource.

13
00:00:49,820 --> 00:00:53,280
All right, so, from flask import jsonify,

14
00:00:54,450 --> 00:00:57,075
which we'll use to turn
these into json responses.

15
00:00:57,075 --> 00:01:03,560
And from flask.ext.restful
import Resource.

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,250
I'm actually going to break
those up just a little bit.

17
00:01:06,250 --> 00:01:07,370
And then import models.

18
00:01:07,370 --> 00:01:09,810
All right, cool.

19
00:01:09,810 --> 00:01:12,710
So those are all of our basic
imports out of the way.

20
00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:16,090
Class CourseList is a resource.

21
00:01:16,090 --> 00:01:18,360
And this is the resource for
a list of courses.

22
00:01:19,630 --> 00:01:22,800
And we're just going to define
the get method on this.

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,090
And so get handles whenever somebody
sends in a get request to the resource.

24
00:01:28,470 --> 00:01:34,430
And we're going to return just jsonify,
courses and

25
00:01:34,430 --> 00:01:39,200
then make up a fake course here,
we'll say the title is Python Basics.

26
00:01:41,140 --> 00:01:43,980
And I know that we have URL in our model.

27
00:01:43,980 --> 00:01:46,742
We're not actually dealing with the model
right now, so we can just leave that off.

28
00:01:46,742 --> 00:01:50,340
We're just doing this to make sure that we
get a response that we like and expect.

29
00:01:52,110 --> 00:01:54,230
All right, so
now we'll make another one here for

30
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:59,780
the course resource, and
this will be very similar.

31
00:01:59,780 --> 00:02:03,710
But we're gonna create three methods
on here instead of just one.

32
00:02:03,710 --> 00:02:08,290
We'll just do self and ID because
individual courses will always get an ID

33
00:02:08,290 --> 00:02:17,000
or should, and we'll return jsonify,
title is Python Basics.

34
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,760
So basically,
I'm just making this stuff match.

35
00:02:19,810 --> 00:02:25,540
And since, this is what I'm gonna
to use for the other two methods.

36
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:30,590
I'm just gonna copy them, and
this will be put and this will be delete.

37
00:02:32,290 --> 00:02:33,508
All right.

38
00:02:33,508 --> 00:02:37,036
Really I should have a post up here for
course list as well but

39
00:02:37,036 --> 00:02:41,715
we'll build that one later whenever we
get to working with actual resources.

40
00:02:41,715 --> 00:02:44,885
So jsonify, if you haven't seen it before,

41
00:02:44,885 --> 00:02:50,540
turns whatever this thing is whatever's
in here into a json response.

42
00:02:50,540 --> 00:02:52,540
So it turns it into a json string.

43
00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:57,000
And it sets the content
type to applications /json.

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,250
It does all the things that you
need to do to make a json response.

45
00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:06,060
And I know that I imported models here and
I'm not using it.

46
00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:08,100
I will get to that, I promise.

47
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:10,070
We'll get to the database
lookups a little bit later.

48
00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:15,730
All right, so now, let's actually,
let's actually take all of this,

49
00:03:15,730 --> 00:03:21,090
copy it and make a new file in that folder
and we're gonna call this reviews.py.

50
00:03:21,090 --> 00:03:25,110
So this is going to be
our reviews resource

51
00:03:26,810 --> 00:03:28,990
and so we got to change a few things here,

52
00:03:28,990 --> 00:03:34,020
we want to change this to ReviewList and
I wanna change this to Review.

53
00:03:35,570 --> 00:03:42,640
And then here, I wanna send back reviews
instead of courses, I want to send back course.

54
00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:50,030
Which is gonna be a 1, and I wanna send
back rating which is gonna be a 5.

55
00:03:50,030 --> 00:03:53,490
All right, so copy that.

56
00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:59,090
And we're gonna paste and
we don't need to copy that actually.

57
00:03:59,090 --> 00:04:00,930
We're just gonna change this.

58
00:04:00,930 --> 00:04:05,946
So this will just be course,

59
00:04:05,946 --> 00:04:10,480
is 1 and rating is 5.

60
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,279
All right, and this will copy.

61
00:04:15,490 --> 00:04:18,350
And paste.

62
00:04:18,350 --> 00:04:19,360
All right, cool.

63
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,610
So, a lot of copying and
pasting just to get things up and running.

64
00:04:24,610 --> 00:04:28,340
But there we go, so
we have everything up and working.

65
00:04:28,340 --> 00:04:32,240
Now, there's not really anything
different about the reviews thing

66
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,230
other than the courses thing except for
names, courses list, reviews list,

67
00:04:37,230 --> 00:04:38,760
things like that.

68
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,910
And these resources aren't really useful,
yet, because they don't do anything yet.

69
00:04:43,910 --> 00:04:48,190
But this gives me a really
solid base to build my API.

70
00:04:48,190 --> 00:04:50,880
And some more complete resources
a little bit later on.

71
00:04:52,730 --> 00:04:55,870
We have resources but now we need
to tie them into our flask app.

72
00:04:55,870 --> 00:04:58,460
So it'll know all about
the routes that we defined.

73
00:04:58,460 --> 00:05:00,580
This can be a little tricky to do cleanly.

74
00:05:00,580 --> 00:05:04,010
They gave me a lot of trouble actually
trying to get ready for this, but

75
00:05:04,010 --> 00:05:07,920
trouble just means that you have something
else to learn, so let me show you a great

76
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,300
flask feature known as Blueprints
that solves exactly this problem.
