Integrate Flask Python API into Reminders Solution #126
Description
Description:
To diversify the Reminders application's technology stack, integrate a Flask Python API alongside the existing .NET API. The Flask API will operate alongside the .NET API, utilizing PostgreSQL from the current infrastructure for data retrieval.
Steps to Implement:
- Create a new Flask project for the Python API in a designated folder (e.g.,
src/server/api/python/api). - Configure the Flask project to connect to the existing PostgreSQL database.
- Develop API endpoints in the Flask project to handle relevant functionalities, maintaining consistency with the existing .NET API.
- Set up appropriate routing and middleware in Flask to seamlessly integrate with the overall solution.
- Update documentation and README to include information about the newly added Python API.
Integration Considerations:
- Ensure that both APIs share common data models and structures for consistent interactions using Nginx (infrastructure/nginx.conf).
- Verify that the Python API effectively queries data from PostgreSQL, aligning with the existing database schema.
Expected Benefits:
- Diversify the technology stack with a lightweight and flexible Python framework.
- Showcase the ability to use different languages within the project.
- Provide additional API endpoints for reminder management.
