Use it

In <project>/model.py:

from pyramid.security import Allow, Authenticated, ALL_PERMISSIONS
class Object(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'object'
    __table_args__ = {'autoload':True}
    __acl__ = [
        (Allow, 'admin', ALL_PERMISSIONS),
        (Allow, 'editor', ('view', 'edit', 'new', 'delete')),
        (Allow, Authenticated, ('view')),
    ]

In <project>/views/rest.py:

from pyramid.view import view_config
from c2c.sqlalchemy.rest import REST
from <project>.models import DBSession, Object
obj = REST(DBSession, Object)

@view_config(route_name='obj_read_many', renderer='jsonp')
def obj_read_many(request):
    return obj.read_many(request)

@view_config(route_name='obj_read_one', renderer='jsonp')
def obj_read_one(request):
    return obj.read_one(request)

@view_config(route_name='obj_count', renderer='string')
def obj_count(request):
    return obj.count(request)

@view_config(route_name='obj_create', renderer='jsonp')
def obj_create(request):
    return obj.create(request)

@view_config(route_name='obj_update')
def obj_update(request):
    return obj.update(request)

@view_config(route_name='obj_auto')
def obj_auto(request):
    return obj.auto(request)

@view_config(route_name='obj_delete', renderer='jsonp')
def obj_delete(request):
    return obj.delete(request)

In <project>/__init__.py:

from pyramid.renderers import JSONP
from c2c.sqlalchemy.rest import add_rest_routes
config.add_renderer('jsonp', JSONP(param_name='callback'))
add_rest_routes(config, 'obj', '/object')

Additional properties

It is possible to add some extra properties by defining in the model an __additional_properties__ function. For instance:

class Object(Base):

    @property
    def __additional_properties__(self):
        l10n = {}
        for l in self.l10n:
            l10n[l.lang.code] = l.value
        return { "l10n": l10n }

Using Relationships

It is possible to retrieve related objects with read_many and read_one actions provided that the relationships are defined in the models and that they are passed to the REST constructor. For instance:

class Tag(GeoInterface, Base):
    __tablename__ = 'tag'
    __table_args__ = (
        UniqueConstraint('name'),
        {"schema": 'tagging'}
    )
    __acl__ = [
        (Allow, 'admin', ALL_PERMISSIONS),
        (Allow, 'editor', ('view', 'edit', 'new', 'delete')),
        (Allow, Everyone, ('view')),
    ]
    id = Column(types.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(types.Unicode(200), nullable=False)
    active = Column(types.Boolean, default=True)
    l10n = relationship("TagL10n", backref="tag")
    childrenTags = relationship("Tag",
            secondary=tag_tag,
            primaryjoin=id==tag_tag.c.tag_id1,
            secondaryjoin=id==tag_tag.c.tag_id2,
            order_by=name, backref="parentTags")

tag_children = {
    'childrenTags': { 'rest': REST(DBSession, Tag) }
}
tag = REST(DBSession, Tag, children=tag_children)

The name of the property containing the related objects may be specified using the propname parameter (default is the relationship name):

tag_children = {
    'childrenTags': { 'rest': REST(DBSession, Tag), 'propname': 'tags' }
}
tag = REST(DBSession, Tag, children=tag_children)

Example result:

{
    "active": false,
    "tags": [{
        "active": true,
        "name": "Artenschutz",
        "id": 31
    }, {
        "active": false,
        "name": "Pioniervegetation",
        "id": 71
    }],
    "name": "Naturschutz",
    "id": 58
}

Protocol

• Read many, GET on .../obj:

{
    "objects": [{
        "id": id,
        "property": "value",
        ...
    },
    ...
    ]
}

• Read one, GET on .../obj/{id}:

{
    "id": id,
    "property": "value",
    ...
}

• Count, GET on .../obj/count:

23

• Create, POST on .../obj with data:

{
    "property": "value",
    ...
}

and it will return the id.

• Update, PUT on .../obj/{id} with data:

{
    "property": "value",
    ...
}

• Auto, POST on .../obj/auto with data:

{
    "id": id,
    "property": "value",
    ...
}

If an object matches the given id, it will be updated, else a new object is automatically created with the given id value.

• Delete, DELETE on .../obj/{id}.
