Simple REST API with falcon framework

A simple api, to demonstrate usage of falcon framework. It uses sqlite for database and sqlalchemy as orm.

Install Requirements

You can use virtualenv, pipenv or python builtin venv module to create an environmen. I will be using pipenv:

$ pipenv --python 3.7
$ pipenv shell && pipenv install

After requirements installation create a database file with command below:

$ python manage.py initdb

If you see this message You have database file in the current directoryto createad it run dropdb, initdb commands respectively. run python manage.py dropdb and python manage.py dropdb commands

Now you have a database and ready to use falcon api. Let`s run the server:

$ python manage.py runserver
 * Running on http://localhost:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
 * Restarting with stat
 * Debugger is active!
 * Debugger PIN: 227-578-359
