I'll provide a more in-depth explanation of the YetiForce FastAPI application based on the documents you've shared. Let's break down the key aspects of the application:

Architecture Overview​

This is a FastAPI-based web application that serves as an intermediary between client applications and a YetiForce CRM system. The primary purpose is to manage various types of feedback and user-related operations.

Key Technical Components​

1. Application Setup​

app = FastAPI()
app.add_middleware(
    CORSMiddleware,
    allow_origins=["*"],
    allow_credentials=True,
    allow_methods=["*"],
    allow_headers=["*"],
)
  • Uses FastAPI for creating the web API
  • Configures CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) middleware to allow requests from any origin
  • This makes the API flexible and accessible from different client applications

2. Logging Configuration​

logger = setup_logger(
    name="Api",
    log_file="Api.log",
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    fieldstyle=temp_fieldstyle
)
  • Custom logging setup using a setup_logger function
  • Logs are color-coded using the rich library
  • Writes logs to "Api.log" file
  • Set to DEBUG level for comprehensive logging

3. YetiForce Client Initialization​

ywr = YetiForceClientCredentials().load_from_config()
  • Uses a credentials management system to load YetiForce CRM client configuration
  • Allows secure and flexible authentication to the CRM system

4. Pydantic Models for Data Validation​

class FamilyFeedbackBody(BaseModel):
    feedbackBody: str
    cleaningScore: str
    foodScore: str
    # ... other fields
  • Uses Pydantic models to define the structure of incoming JSON data
  • Provides automatic validation and serialization of request bodies
  • Ensures data integrity before processing

Endpoint Categories​

  1. User Authentication and Retrieval

    • /getUser: Retrieve user details
    • /trylogUser: Attempt user login
    • /checkNumberMail: Check profile completion status

  2. Feedback Creation Endpoints

    • /createFeedbackFamily
    • /createFeedbackPlacement
    • /createFeedbackErasmus
    • /createFeedbackHybrid

  3. Feedback Check Endpoints

    • /check_family_feedback
    • /check_placement_feedback
    • /check_erasmus_feedback
    • /check_hybrid_feedback

Interesting Technical Details​

Token Renewal​

@app.on_event('startup')
@repeat_every(seconds=60*60) # 1 hour
async def print_hello():
    logger.info("Polling for new tokens")
    ywr._RenewToken()
  • Automatically renews authentication tokens every hour
  • Ensures continuous access to the YetiForce CRM

Error Handling Pattern​

if data.get("status") == 1:
    response.status_code = status.HTTP_200_OK
else:
    response.status_code = status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST
  • Consistent error handling across endpoints
  • Uses status codes to communicate the result of operations

Main Use Cases​

  1. Managing different types of feedback:

    • Host family experiences
    • Job placement experiences
    • Erasmus program experiences
    • Hybrid learning experiences

  2. User authentication and profile management

  3. Checking existing feedback submissions

Potential Improvements​

  • Implement more robust error handling
  • Add more comprehensive input validation
  • Consider rate limiting
  • Enhance logging with more context

Technology Stack​

  • FastAPI
  • Pydantic
  • YetiForce Wrapper
  • Rich (for logging)
  • Requests library

This application provides a flexible, secure, and well-structured API for managing user feedback and interactions with a CRM system.
