Example application¶

First install Invenio-REST, setup the application and load fixture data by running:

$ pip install -e .[all]
$ cd examples
$ ./app-setup.sh
$ ./app-fixtures.sh

Next, start the development server:

$ export FLASK_APP=app.py FLASK_DEBUG=1
$ flask run

and use cURL to explore the simplistic REST API:

$ curl -v -XGET http://0.0.0.0:5000/records/
$ curl -v -XGET http://0.0.0.0:5000/records/ \\
    -H Accept:application/xml

The example app demonstrates:

Use of Accept headers to change the serialization from JSON to XML via the invenio_rest.views.ContentNegotiatedMethodView.
CORS headers (Access-Control-Allow-Origin and Access-Control-Expose-Headers).

To reset the example application run:

$ ./app-teardown.sh
