Summary

In this chapter, we built the RESTful API using the Flask-RESTful package. By doing this, you have seen how simple and easy it is to perform such tasks. We are building our project in a structural manner, which allows us to easily extend the project in the subsequent chapters. In this chapter, we created the models and resources folder; we will be developing more models and resources later in this book. So far, our food recipe-sharing platform, Smilecook, is capable of performing CRUD, as well as setting the publish status of the recipe. We have also tested the application to make sure it is working properly. Finally, you started to realize the power of Postman, which greatly automates the whole testing process. In the next chapter, we will learn about how to perform data validation.
