In this tutorial, we dive into building a simple yet powerful API using Flask and Python. We'll walk through the implementation of POST and GET functionalities, allowing you to create and retrieve items in a virtual database (a.k.a. python list in our case). Some unit tests are added as well.
🚀 Topics Covered:
Creating items with a POST request
Retrieving all items with a GET request
Adding tests to validate API functionality
🧪 Test Cases Included:
1. Create Item: Demonstrates the creation of a new item and validates the successful response.
2. Create Item (Missing Name): Ensures the API handles the case when the 'name' field is missing.
3. Retrieve All Items: Verifies the correctness of retrieving the list of all items.
4. Create Multiple Items and Check Count: Creates five additional items, checks the count, and ensures they are successfully added.
