Flask搭建api服务-生成API文档

前面讲到了Flask实现api，但api是给别人用的，就要告诉别人如何发现api，以及api的用途、名称、出参、入参，生成api文档的做法有好多种，本文选了一种最简单的方式。

核心就是通过app.view_functions 这个字典找到每个API 的endpoint所绑定的方法，然后访问方法的名字和文档即可

从路由中搜索api，在这里可以构筑规则

def get_api_map():
    """Search API from rules, if match the pattern then we said it is API."""
    for rule in app.url_map.iter_rules():
        if 'docs' not in str(rule) and 'static' not in str(rule):
            yield str(rule), rule.endpoint

建立两个路由，一个是api docs的首页，一个是各个api的规则定义

@app.route('/', methods=['GET'])
def index():
    """List all API to this page, api_map contains each api url + endpoint."""
    api_map = sorted(list(get_api_map()))
    index_url = url_for('index', _external=True)
    api_map = [(index_url + x[0][1:], x[1]) for x in api_map]
    return render_template('api_index.html', api_map=api_map)
@app.route('/docs/<endpoint>', methods=['GET'])def docs(endpoint):
    """Document page for an endpoint."""
    api = {
        'endpoint': endpoint,
        'methods': [],
        'doc': '',
        'url': '',
        'name': ''
    }

    try:
        func = app.view_functions[endpoint]

        api['name'] = _get_api_name(func)
        api['doc'] = _get_api_doc(func)

        for rule in app.url_map.iter_rules():
            if rule.endpoint == endpoint:
                api['methods'] = ','.join(rule.methods)
                api['url'] = str(rule)

    except:
        api['doc'] = 'Invalid api endpoint: "{}"!'.format(endpoint)

    return render_template('api_docs.html', api=api)

获取api的名称和api文档内容

def _get_api_name(func):
    """e.g. Convert 'do_work' to 'Do Work'"""
    words = func.__name__.split('_')
    words = [w.capitalize() for w in words]
    return ' '.join(words)


def _get_api_doc(func):
    if func.__doc__:
        return func.__doc__
    else:
        return 'No doc found for this API!'

在原有的api函数内，补充晚上像个接口定义，包括入参、出参、名称、描述等等

@app.route('/getdimdict', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def getdimdict():
    """

接口名称：        /getdimdict 获取指标库的维度字典
    接口描述：
        获取指标库的维度字典，
    接口入参：        get方法
        参数无
    接口出参：        json格式        data = {

"code":"200",
                  “info":"处理成功"
                  "result":{
                    "typecode": "datelevel\",
                    "typename": "\u65e5\\u671f\\u5c42\\u7ea7\",
                    "dimcode": "01",
                    "dimname": "\\u5e74\"
                  }
                }
    """
    params = {}
    retinfo = {}
    errorflag = False
    retinfo['code'] = 200
    retinfo['info'] = '处理成功'
    retinfo['result'] = ''
    sqltext = config[DBSECTION]['getdimdict']
    jsonstr = getsqlresultjson(db, sqltext, params)
    retinfo['result'] = jsonstr
    response = jsonify(retinfo)
    response.status_code = 200
    return response

定义html的base页面-layout.html

{% extends "bootstrap/base.html" %}

{% block styles %}
    {{ super() }}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='style.css') }}">
