Create Web service in less than a minute for any python function

It is about very minimal and quick way to deploy web services super fast; yet again have very robust control if needed;

• In future, it will extend extensive security control that can be implemented if needed
• Support for authoriation and authentication

See Examples in test directory here: https://github.com/meyers007/mangorest/blob/master/test/oth.py

STEP 1.

pip install django serializers mangorest

STEP 2: decorate your functions with @webapi - see example below (Please use kwargs for your own sanity)

#---- myfile.py----
from  mangorest.mango import webapi

@webapi("/ws2")
def ws2(**kwargs):
    ret = (f"Web service 2 {kwargs}")
    return ret
    

STEP 3: import myfile in another file ex: simple.py - for ex:

import mangorest.mango
import myfile
    
mangorest.mango.__VERSION__ = "1.1"
mangorest.mango.PORT        = 8050
if __name__ == '__main__' and not mangorest.mango.inJupyter():
    print(f'** NOTICE *** registered URLS: {mangorest.mango._WEBAPI_ROUTES.keys()}')
    mangorest.mango.main()
    pass    

STEP 4: run

python simple.py runserver 0:8050

STEP 5: finally visit http://localhost:8050 OR http://localhost:8050/ws2?h=tan OR http://localhost:8050/ws2

THAT IS ALL

I assume that you have two python environments and be sure create an environment right for your purpose. (1) /usr/bin/python3 ==> 3.8.9 version (2) /usr/local/bin/python3 ==> 3.8.3 version

mkdir ~/venvs
cd ~/venvs
EXPORT PYENV=/usr/local/bin/python
EXPORT PYENV=/usr/bin/python3

virtualenv -p $PYENV  p3.8.9

source p3.8.9/bin/activate

I write a lot of python code that needs to be deployed juts by tagging it with @webapi. There is nothing more to do. The framework automatically sends in the argumens in kwargs.

There is no need to import any HTTP request objects or parse through them. I wanted my functions to be used in regular python and tested - at the same time become a web service.

With little more effort, you can - I will add these

• deploy it on gunicorn,
• secure it,
• deploy it on cloud or open shift,
• collect statistics
• autorize with APK tokents and issue to throttle the requests
• Many more and best of all, you can extend it beyond
