REST API Patterns
def handle_request(payload: dict) -> dict:
validated = validate_input(payload)
result = compute_result(validated)
return format_response(result)
GraphQL Resolvers
def resolve_orders(customer_id: int) -> list[dict]:
rows = db.query(customer_id)
orders = []
for row in rows:
orders.append({
'id': row['id'],
'total': row['price'] * row['quantity']
})
return orders
Request Validation
def validate_pagination(params: dict) -> tuple[int, int]:
page = max(1, int(params.get('page', 1)))
size = min(100, max(1, int(params.get('size', 20))))
return page, size
