Handling db connection at run time and documenting rest api example

[bnlambert]

Silicon is a great work and bravo to the creator and contributors.

I wish to know

• how to connect to many mysql databases at run time.
• if database connection in Silicon done asynchronously
• any recommended api documentation tools for documenting REST APIs created with Silicon

Thanks

Hi @bnlambert ,

how to connect to many mysql databases at run time. It's not possible, but I try to make it possible if you need it.

if database connection in Silicon done asynchronously

Silicon uses the mysqlclient driver, it does not provide a asynchronous API.

any recommended api documentation tools for documenting REST APIs created with Silicon

What do you mean by documentation tools ? I usually use simple a txt file documenting all the routes, their parameters and what they return.

An example of api documentation tool is swagger. I am more concern in changing database configuration at run base on incoming request or active user.. Thank you very much for your feedback.
