quickstart.txt

EWE setup has a couple steps:

1. 'pip -r requirements.txt' to install the necessary software
    (sqlalchemy and flask)
2. Define your config as a JSON file
    See examples/ex1.json for the format.
    Basically, list the tables and columns the database
    will need and what type of object goes in each entry.
3. Generate the database:
    'python config.py 'sqlite:////tmp/app.db' ../examples/ex1.json'
    This puts the databse at /tmp/app.db and uses the json 
    model at ../examples/ex1.json, but you can change these.
4. Run the app:
    'python app.py'
    The app is running at localhost:5000.

Now you can use any of the pre-defined endpoints. 
All return values are JSON.
Examples are in curl following the tables defined in ex1.json.
These are:
POST /<table>
    Adds an item to this table.
    curl -d name=bob -d fullname=bobsmith -d password=password localhost:5000/users
    Returns the created item.

GET /<table>/<id>
    Returns the item in this table with the given ID.
    curl localhost:5000/users/1
     
GET /<table>/lookup/<attrname>/<value>
    Returns a list of items with the given value for the given attribute.
    curl localhost:5000/users/lookup/name/bob

GET /<table>/<id>/<attrname>
    Returns the value of this attribute.
    For ForeignKey backreferences, returns a list of all such items with a foreignkey to this item.
    curl localhost:5000/users/1/emails       //foreignkey
    curl curl localhost:5000/users/1/name    //String attribute

POST /<table>/<id>
    Updates the item with the given ID according to the new fields and values in the request.
    Ignored invalid attributes.
    Returns the modified item.
    curl -d name=newname -d password=newpass localhost:5000/users

DELETE /<table>/<id>
    Deletes the item with the given ID.
    Returns HTTP 204.

POST /createtable/<newtablename>
    Creates a new table from the columns specified in the request.
    curl -d col1=str col2=bool col3=ForeignKey_user.id localhost:5000/createtable/newtablename

POST /altertable/<table>
    Alters the table according to the request data.
