This is a toy repo to experiment with connexion. Rather than write code and generate OpenAPI definitions from the code, with Connexion the OpenAPI definition can be written first, before any code.

Notes

• this python app is a rip-off from the Docker Get-Started app.
• modifications include the additional use of connexion
• the Dockerfile is modified to use an alpine image, and the pip requirements are fetched before the app is copied to the image, so as to enjoy some caching goodness

Inspiration from

• Building and Documenting Python REST APIs With Flask and Connexion
• Crafting Effective Microservices in Python

Build in docker:

docker build -t connexion-api .
