I am trying to learn python, mongodb and flask and am using the VERY EXCELLENT blog from Miguel Grinberg who provides a great set of tutorials at blog.miguelgrinberg.com
I got a small RESTful server working fine but now want to pull stuff from mongo not mysql
I can pull a mongo record out using the code below but am struggling to get it to render.
I have used arrows in the code below to show where I am struggling, lack of experience I think. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
#!flask/bin/python
from flask import Flask, jsonify, abort, make_response, url_for
from pymongo import MongoClient
# connect to mongo database hosted on AWS
# the script expects the host name to be in /etc/hosts file
'''
Set up global variables here
'''
mongo_server = "mongo_api"
mongo_port = "27017"
mongo_user = "admin"
mongo_passwd = ":mysecretpassword@"
connect_string = "mongodb://"+ mongo_user
+ mongo_passwd
+ mongo_server
+ ":"
+ mongo_port
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.errorhandler(404)
def not_found(error):
return make_response(jsonify( { 'error': 'Notfound' } ), 404)
def make_public_page(page):
new_page = {}
for field in page:
if field == 'id':
new_page['uri'] = url_for('get_page', page_id = page['id'], _external = True)
else:
new_page[field] = page[field]
return new_page
@app.route('/api/v1.0/pages/<int:page_id>',methods = ['GET'])
def get_page(page_id):
'''
Can connect otherwise exit with message
'''
try:
connection = MongoClient(connect_string) # equal to > show dbs
except:
exit("Error: Unable to connect to the database") # exit with an error
'''
connect to database and pull back collections
'''
db = connection.test_database # equal to > use test_database
pages = db.pages
page = pages.find_one({"id": int(page_id)}) <------ this pulls back a document
if page == None: <---- if a null set comes back then this works great
abort(404)
return jsonify( { 'page' : make_public_page(page[0])} ) <- error says its not json
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug = True)
Any help appreciated, page[0] is the code that's just not working I get a
TypeError: ObjectId('527e17c538320915e9893f17') is not JSON serializable
Thanks in advance
BTW Can't recommend Miguel's mega tutorial enough as a place to start to build stuff
