Re: Super beginner question :)
Thanks a lot! Will study 🙂 Even in my beginner's understanding I see how Smartbear's products and architecture caters for robust API design and implementation but also feel that if I'm not also facilitating the front-end developers the idea of API First philosophy might be weakened.1.1KViews1like0CommentsRe: Super beginner question :)
Well thanks for letting me know I'm not totally misunderstanding 🙂 I use Codegen to generate the Flask backend but could not find/understand how to use it to also generate a "boilerplate" of an HTML/JS frontend ... is this possible? Can you suggest some further reading/ideas? Take care1.2KViews0likes2CommentsSuper beginner question :)
Dear friends, <preamble> in real life I am a medical doctor and as my dark secret I do some programming to take a break from my main job and "distract" myself from it. I have been playing with OpenAPI a little and find the whole concept of "API first" programming really attractive. I my probably limited understanding if I take some time to define the APIs and the related data model I can then ensure that BOTH the backend and front-end developers rely on that to develop their stuff right? For the backend I've been generating flask-servers and using an Atlas MongoDB and all is cute and fine. </preamble> What I'm trying to understand is if there's a toolchain to speed up a front-end development coherent with the API and its data model. Currently I'm just using the datamodel to build forms and stuff like that but if I did change something in the API or datamodel I currently have to manually review the forms to be sure they reflect the new data. Is it possible if not automating at least to help in this fronted to API/model consistency? Hope this is not too dumb a question. Thanks in advance.Solved1.3KViews0likes4Comments
