Python 3.7.5 : Using the hug framework - part 001.

Today I will come with another tutorial series about the hug framework.
The hug framework is on the top 3 performing web frameworks for Python and comes with the cleanest way to create HTTP REST APIs on Python 3.
The official webpage can be found hug web page with a good area for learn.
Let's install this python package.

[mythcat@desk projects]$ mkdir hug_001
[mythcat@desk projects]$ cd hug_001/
[mythcat@desk hug_001]$ pip3 install hug --user
...
Successfully installed hug-2.6.1

The Hug is a framework that allows you to expose a single code in several ways:

• a local package;
• as an A.P.I.;
• as a C.L.I.;

Let's create an app.py python script to see all of these options:

import hug

# local pkg 
@hug.local()
def get_products(product:hug.types.text):
        """Get product name"""
        return {"product":product.upper()}

# API
@hug.get()

# CLI
@hug.cli()

To test it I used this source code:

import hug

# local pkg 
@hug.get()
@hug.local()
def get_products(product:hug.types.text):
        """Get product name"""
        return {"product":product.upper()}

The rerver can be run with this command:

[mythcat@desk hug_001]$ hug -f app.py

OPen the browser with the http://localhost:8000/ or http://localhost:8000/products:
If you want to use the CLI then you need to make these changes in the source code:

import hug
# cli 
@hug.cli()
# local pkg 
@hug.get('/products')
@hug.local()
def get_products(product:hug.types.text):
        """Get product name"""
        return {"product":product.upper()}
# the main CLI
if __name__ == '__main__':
        get_products.interface.cli() 

I can see the help area from python:

[mythcat@desk hug_001]$ hug -f app.py -c help
app

Available Commands:

 - get_products: Get product name 

The hug help show the all arguments for use:

[mythcat@desk hug_001]$ hug --help
usage: hug [-h] [-v] [-f FILE] [-m MODULE] [-ho HOST] [-p PORT] [-n] [-ma]
           [-i INTERVAL] [-c COMMAND] [-s]
