kule: A Python repository from sinanargun

Simple REST Interface for MongoDB.

Kule is a REST interface for MongoDB. You can use kule as a temporary backend for your backend needed apps.

Requirements

Bottle
Pymongo

Installation

pip install kule

Usage

python -m kule --database foo --collections users,documents

That's all.

Now you can interact with your API.

Method	Path	Action
GET	/users	Returns all records. You can give limit and offset parameters to paginate records.
GET	/users/:id	Returns a single document
POST	/users	Creates a new document
PUT	/users/:id	Replaces an existing document
PATCH	/users/:id	Updates a document
DELETE	/users/:id	Removes an existing document

Customization

You can customize your API response for your requirements. For example, you can provide authentication method.

Example

You can override an existing endpoint.

from kule import Kule

class MyKule(Kule):
    def delete_detail(self, collection, pk):
        return self.not_implemented()

Magical method names ...

You can override specific endpoint with kule's magical methods.

from kule import Kule

class MyKule(Kule):
    def get_users_list(self, collection):
        return ["merhaba", "hello", "hola"]

Building custom bundle

Also there is a way to build customized bundles.

from kule import Kule

class MyKule(Kule):
    def build_users_bundle(self, user):
        first_name, last_name = user.get("full_name").split()
        return {"first_name": first_name, 
                "last_name": last_name}

Starting app

mykule = MyKule(database="foo")
mykule.run()

Using with Backbone.js

You have to override the parse method of collections. Because models listing on objects key.

Backbone.Collection.prototype.parse = function(data) {
    return data.objects ? data.objects : data;
};

// examples
var Document = Backbone.Model.extend({
    urlRoot: "http://localhost:8000/documents", // Supports CORS
    idAttribute: "_id"
});
var Documents = Backbone.Collection.extend({
    model: Document,
    url: "http://localhost:8000/documents"
});

// lets play
var _document = new Document({"title": "hello"});
_document.save()

_document.on('reset', function () {
    console.log(_document.id);
})
