This is an interactive tutorial that will teach you how to create an API using the Python Flask framework using Python and Pipenv.

🌱 How to start this project

This project comes with the necessary files to start working, but you have two options to start:

a) Open this link in your browser to clone it with gitpod: https://gitpod.io#https://github.com/breatheco-de/python-flask-api-tutorial

b) You can clone this repository on your local computer:

$ git clone https://github.com/breatheco-de/python-flask-api-tutorial

💡 Important: Remember to create a new repository, update the remote (git remote set-url origin <your new url>), and upload the code to your new repository using add, commit and push.

About the project we are going to build

In this tutorial we are going to be building a REST API that exposes 3 endpoints to the internet:

GET /todos
POST /todos
DELETE /todos/<int:position>

GET /todos

Will return the list of all todos like this:

[
    {
        "done": true,
        "label": "Sample Todo 1"
    },
    {
        "done": true,
        "label": "Sample Todo 2"
    }
]

POST /todos

It's going to add a new todo to the list, it will receive the following request body:

{
    "done": true,
    "label": "Sample Todo 1"
}

And return the updated list of todos

DELETE /todos/int:position

It's going to remove one todo based on a given position at the end of the url, and return the updated list of todos.
