A minimal starter for a Flask API, includes auto generated openapi documentation out of the box.

Features:

• rest-x
• flask_sqlalchemy
• flask_migrate

Install the dependencies using pip (I highly recommend using a virtual environment. Learn More. )

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Start the server

$ python manage.py run

Access the OpenAPI doc.

Create .env file and add the following lines

DB_URL="sqlite:///../data.db"

Start create_db() in terminal

$ python manage.py create_db

Now you should see the data.db file in your working tree.

Pretty fly for a Flask API! Now you can head back to your OpenAPI doc and try it out.
