Python/Django with MySQL template for Crafting Sandbox

This is a Python/Django with MySQL template, configured for quick development setup in Crafting Sandbox.

Specifications

This template defines a single /ping route:

urlpatterns = [
    path('ping', views.ping),
]

whose view is defined as:

def ping(request):
  ping = request.GET.get('ping')
  if ping == "":
    ping = 'To ping, or not to ping; that is the question.'
  pong = {
    'ping': ping,
    'received_at': datetime.utcnow()
  }

  return JsonResponse(pong)

This action receives a query string, and responds with the param string and the current time. For example:

$ curl --request GET 'localhost:3000/ping?ping=hello'
{"ping": "hello", "received_at": "XXXX-XX-XXXXX:XX:XX.XXX"}

Template is configured with MySQL, and mysite/settings.py contains the connection configuration.

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'HOST': environ.get('MYSQL_SERVICE_HOST'),
        'PORT': environ.get('MYSQL_SERVICE_PORT'),
        'NAME': 'XXX',
        'USER': 'XXX',
        'PASSWORD': 'XXX'
    }
}

To run the app:

python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:3000
