Module urest.examples.echo

An example of a 'noun' class which echo's responses to the client.

Overview

The main use of this library is as a test: it should work on both the Pico (W) boards and any 'normal' installation of Python. As such it provides very little functionality, but could in principle also be used as a the basis for a more useful test harness or stub.

Tested Implementations

This version is written for MicroPython 3.4, and has been tested on:

  • Raspberry Pi Pico W

Classes

class EchoServer

The Abstract Base Class for the nouns, used in the response from the server.

This base class defines the minimum interface used in marshalling requests from the clients by the RESTServer class. The API defined by the server consists of 'nouns' representing the resources defined by the sub-classes of this base class, and the methods which act upon those resources (which map to the 'verbs' of the HTTP requests made to the RESTServer class.

Where data is returned to the client by the, e.g by the get_state method, JSON will ultimately be used as the encoding format. Sub-classes do not need to implement the saving of the object state to the client: however to assist they should be aware of the type of the each value returned as part of a key/value pair in the Dictionary.

When returning data to the client, the value of each entry in the Dictionary will attempt to be inferred using the normal Python type library. If the type can be identified, then an appropriate JSON type will be used: otherwise the value of that Dictionary entry will be returned as a string.

Warning: Data will be returned to the client 'as is'

No further checking on the validity (or otherwise) of the content of the Dictionary will be undertaken past this point. Anything that appear to be in a valid Dictionary will be returned to the client. It is the module consumers responsibility to ensure the returned data follows the form expected by those clients.
