Resource API

A framework to:

• declaratively define resources and their relationships
• handle resource serialization/deserialization to arbitrary data storage (e.g.: MySQL, NoSQL, plain files)
• expose HTTP interface
• handle authorization for individual resources

Check documentation for more detailed information.

Code style

Run pep8 and pyflakes in src directory

Version policy

Semantic version

Changelog format

VERSION RELEASE-TIMESTAMP=YYYY-MM-DD

    [Author Name <author@email>]
        * CHANGE_TYPE=MAJOR|MINOR|PATCH: change description

Example

12.11.3 2014-01-12

    [John Smith <john.smith@example.com>]
        * PATCH: refactored the modules
        * MINOR: added a new class
        * MAJOR: removed deprecated function

Notes:

• It is a good idea to annotate each commit with "1:", "2:" and "3:" message for PATCH|MINOR|MAJOR respectively so that it is easier to control the version based on the output of git log command
• There is no need to modify changelog when documentation or travis related files are updated. Only changes of the source code are important.

5. Switch to master
6. Merge dev into master
7. Execute git tag VERSION -m VERSION
8. Push dev & master branches to upstream
9. Push tags to upstream

Pull requests

Always create your own feature branches from the dev branch. Not from master one.

1. Make sure that all commits have descriptive messages and are up to the point
2. pep8 and pyflakes checks are supposed to pass
3. All tests are supposed to pass
4. If it is a new feature - make sure that new tests are created and they pass
5. Add a new set of bullet points to the latest changelog entry according to the specified format
6. Create a pull request against the dev branch
