Hi,
Feel free to leave comments on the PR or this thread.
Once more you're input would be highly appreciated.
Docs are available on:
https://flask-appbuilder.readthedocs.io/en/fab2/rest_api.html
(I'll be updating readthedocs for this branch)
Some design goals:
- Security
- Enable the possibility to develop dynamic CRUD react components on top of the
ModelRestApi class.
- Flexibility
- Coherent API
Thank you!
Daniel Gaspar
