The get method on user works if the # api.add_resource(User, '/user/') line is uncommented, and the other api.add_resource is. The inverse of that is true to make the post method work.
How can I get both of these paths to work?
from flask import Flask, request
from flask.ext.restful import reqparse, abort, Api, Resource
import os
# set the project root directory as the static folder, you can set others.
app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)
class User(Resource):
def get(self, userid):
print type(userid)
if(userid == '1'):
return {'id':1, 'name':'foo'}
else:
abort(404, message="user not found")
def post(self):
# should just return the json that was posted to it
return request.get_json(force=True)
api.add_resource(User, '/user/')
# api.add_resource(User, '/user/<string:userid>')
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
Flask-Restful supports registering multiple URLs for a single resource. Simply provide both URLs when you register the User resource:
api.add_resource(User, '/user/', '/user/<userid>')
