Summary
In this chapter, we've worked on a final project that involves an interface and an API. We have used two different frameworks to accomplish our goal: Django and Falcon. They are very different and have allowed us to explore different concepts and techniques to craft our software and make this fun application come alive.
We have seen an example of symmetric encryption and explored code that was written in a more functional style, as opposed to a more classic control flow-oriented approach. We have reused and extended the Django class-based views, reducing to a minimum the amount of code we had to write.
When coding the API, we decoupled handling requests from password management. This way it's much easier to see which part of the code depends on the Falcon framework and which is independent from it.
Finally, we saw a few tests for the helpers and handlers of the API. We have briefly touched on a technique that I use to expand classes under test in order to be able to test...
