app/init.py

This file define the create_app() function here do the following

  1. connect mongo DB
  2. register all blueprint into the Flask app
  3. then lastly return back the app object to be used in run.py

run.py

this is the point for Flask run 1st import create app function for the file above then the app object here then the Flask app will start

app/api.py

this is the place the define the routes

1.Blueprints - Break the whole flask app into different part of smaller app

  • example , Api one part,admin one part,then we will have 2 blueprints

  1. Pass the Blueprint object into Api object(this from Flask-Restful) Api() object in Flask-Restful need the Flask App as a parameter. the a Blueprint is a "little Flask app" so we pass the Flask app into the Api()

  2. we need to add Resource into the Api() object with the path you want to access it Resource file is the file you define the [get,post,delete,path] when the traffic go to the path you set.

Resource folder

All file inside this will be the Resource object which you define [GET,POST,UPDATE,DELETE] operation for each endpoint and use it to define the part and for app/api.py file above.
