Architecture

Routes

Routes defined in the routes directory are automatically initialised. Each route should be defined in a separate file.

# app/routes/submit_score.py

from app import App
from app.libs import SQLExtension
from app.models import User

@App.get('/submit_score')
def submit_score() -> str:
    
    username = request.form["username"]
    score = request.form["score"]
    
    player = User(username, score)
    SQLExtension.db.session.add(player)
    SQLExtension.db.session.commit()

Models

All models should inherit from the BaseModel dataclass. This ensures that all models are always serialisable and will never need to reimplement id.
