db = flask_sqlalchemy.SQLAlchemy(app)
class Person(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
name = db.Column(db.Unicode)
birth_date = db.Column(db.Date)
class Article(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
title = db.Column(db.Unicode)
published_at = db.Column(db.DateTime)
author_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('person.id'))
author = db.relationship(Person, backref=db.backref('articles'))
# Create the database tables.
db.create_all()
# Create the Flask-Restless API manager.
manager = flask_restless.APIManager(app, session=db.session)
# Create API endpoints, which will be available at /api/<table_name> by
# default. Allowed HTTP methods can be specified as well.
manager.create_api(Person, methods=['GET', 'POST', 'DELETE'])
