Rest API 2: Create Store and retrieve all stores

Requirement:
Need to create a new store in our My store.

Scenario1:
We create a dummy post method in our code with pass , try to hit from post man using post request and see what is the response flask provides.

from flask import Flask,app
app = Flask(__name__)

stores = [
    {
    "name": "my store",
    "items": [
        {"name": "my item",
            "price": 15.99
        }
    ]
}
]

@app.get("/stores")
def get_stores():
    return stores

@app.post("/stores")    
def create_store():
    pass

Output:

As we see we are getting 500 internal server error. This is due to Flask always expects a response.

Scenario 2:
Now change the code snippet to below:

@app.post("/stores")    
def create_store():
    pass

Restart the server and hot from post man you get below.

Scenario 3:
Now add a code to add the incoming data from post request to the stores in our app and show it back.

For this one to read the inputs from the request , we need to import request from flask like below. After using the request object read the values.

from flask import Flask, request
app = Flask(__name__)

stores = [
    {
    "name": "my store",
    "items": [
        {"name": "my item",
            "price": 15.99
        }
    ]
}
]

@app.get("/stores")
def get_stores():
    return stores

@app.post("/stores")    
def create_store():
   request_data = request.get_json()
   new_store = { "name": request_data["name"], "items": []}
   stores.append(new_store)
   return new_store, 201  

output:

Now hit our get endpoint
