How can I implement filtering in Flask-RESTful?

How can I implement filtering in Flask-RESTful?

You can implement filtering in Flask-RESTful by using query parameters in your API endpoints. For example, you can define a resource and use the get method to accept filter parameters.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from flask import Flask, request
from flask_restful import Resource, Api

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

class Item(Resource):
    def get(self):
        filter_param = request.args.get('filter')
        # Logic to filter items based on filter_param
        return {'items': filtered_items}

api.add_resource(Item, '/items')
app.run()

What if I want to filter by multiple parameters?

You can retrieve multiple query parameters by calling request.args.get('param_name') for each parameter. Then, apply your filtering logic accordingly.

Is there a way to paginate the results as well?

Yes, you can implement pagination by using additional query parameters like page and limit. Adjust your query to return only the specified page of results.
