Integrating Restless

[RockyRoad29]

Hello,

Thanks Roman for this great "backbone". I've been working on extending it for a couple of weeks now (https://github.com/RockyRoad29/flask-kit), including documentation.

Now trying to use Flask-Restless I have a new AppFactory problem.
This extension implements init_app, but it takes extra arguments like 'db' or 'session'.

Should I, as you did for gravatar and toolbar, declare it as lambda at the end of ext.py ?

gravatar = lambda app: Gravatar(app, size=50)  # has no init_app()
toolbar = lambda app: DebugToolbarExtension(app)  # has no init_app()

from flask.ext.restless import APIManager
api_manager = lambda app: APIManager(app, flask_sqlalchemy_db=db) # needs db as init_app argument

But I realize I don't understand how it is supposed to work. Can you help me about that ?

Another option might be to extend AppFactory._bind_extensions() to accept extra parameters but I think it might get tricky. Any idea ?

I think I got it: the lambda was only used if init_app was absent.
So I replaced:

            if getattr(ext, 'init_app', False):
                ext.init_app(self.app)
            else:
                ext(self.app)

with

            if callable(ext):
                ext(self.app)
            elif getattr(ext, 'init_app', False):
                ext.init_app(self.app)
            else:
                raise NoExtensionException('{e_name} extension has no init_app. Can\'t initialize'.format(e_name=e_name))

and then it ext.py:

api_manager = APIManager()
init_api_manager = lambda app: api_manager.init_app(app, flask_sqlalchemy_db=db) # needs db as init_app argument

and in settings.py:

    EXTENSIONS = ['ext.db',
                 ...
                  'ext.init_api_manager',
                  ]

\o/ Have a great day :)
