Endpoint request methods

[tabotkevin]

In this update, I propose an enhancement to annotate endpoints with their accepted request types, such as "POST", "GET", "PUT", and others. The intention is to ensure appropriate handling of errors when the incoming request method does not match the expected method for an endpoint. If an endpoint lacks annotations, it defaults to accepting any request method. It's important to note that the current version of Responder only supports this functionality within class-based views.

For instance, leveraging the annotation approach:

@api.route("/", methods=["POST"])

This enhancement streamlines the handling of request methods, promoting more explicit endpoint definition and ensuring accurate request handling within the Responder framework.

See other examples in the examples/enpoint_request_methods.py file.

Walkthrough

The changes across various files indicate an enhancement to a Python web framework, likely Responder, to support different HTTP methods for API routes. The updates include the addition of a methods parameter to route definitions, allowing for more granular control over which HTTP methods each endpoint should handle. A new class-based approach for route handling is also introduced, enabling organized and reusable code for different HTTP operations.

Changes

File Path	Change Summary
examples/endpoint_request_methods.py	Added route handlers for GET and POST methods; introduced asynchronous functions and a GreetingResource class for handling requests.
responder/api.py responder/routes.py	Modified add_route function to include a methods parameter for specifying HTTP methods.
tests/test_responder.py	Added HTTP methods to route decorators; introduced new endpoint request methods and classes with method handlers.

Poem

🐇 "In the land of code, where the endpoints lie,
🌐 A change was made, with a method's sigh.
🚀 Now GET and POST, in harmony dwell,
🎉 And the routes respond, with a tale to tell."

I'm loving this AI haha. @tabotkevin this is looking great!

@coderabbitai the opposite is true, the description needs to be updated, not the code.

:bulb: NOTE Deep insights is a beta feature.

@kennethreitz Based on the script output, it appears that the add_route function in responder/api.py and the Route class in responder/routes.py both accept a methods parameter, which is an empty tuple by default. This suggests that there is no hardcoded default HTTP method such as "GET" when an endpoint is not annotated. Instead, the default behavior seems to be that no methods are specified unless explicitly provided.

Given this information, the PR description should be updated to reflect that endpoints must explicitly specify accepted HTTP methods using annotations, and there is no default "GET" method assumed if not annotated. Additionally, there is no indication in the code that this functionality is limited to class-based views, so this part of the description may also need revision.

Would you like to provide the correct description, or should I draft an updated description based on the code changes?

@coderabbitai yes, that is a correct assumption, I want the default to be ALL methods, if that makes sense.

@kennethreitz, I've updated the default methods parameter to include all standard HTTP methods. Please ensure to review any other parts of the codebase, such as tests or examples, that may depend on the previous default behavior and update them accordingly.

[kennethreitz]

fine....

@kennethreitz @coderabbitai The implementation here is that any HTTP method is allowed as long as none is provided. In essence, all methods are allowed when none is provided, that why the methods attribute defaults to an empty tuple.
