function get_all_data_sections
Flask API endpoint that retrieves all data sections associated with the currently authenticated user and returns them as JSON.
/tf/active/vicechatdev/vice_ai/new_app.py
4261 - 4273
simple
Purpose
This endpoint serves as a REST API route to fetch all data sections belonging to the authenticated user. It's used in web applications to display user-specific data sections, typically for dashboards or data management interfaces. The function handles authentication, retrieves data through a service layer, and provides error handling with appropriate HTTP status codes.
Source Code
def get_all_data_sections():
"""Get all data sections for the current user"""
user_email = get_current_user()
try:
data_sections = data_section_service.get_user_data_sections(user_email)
return jsonify({
'success': True,
'data_sections': clean_for_json([section.to_dict() for section in data_sections])
})
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Error getting data sections: {e}")
return jsonify({'error': str(e)}), 500
Return Value
Returns a Flask JSON response object. On success (HTTP 200), returns a dictionary with 'success': True and 'data_sections': a list of dictionaries representing each data section (cleaned for JSON serialization). On error (HTTP 500), returns a dictionary with 'error': error message string. The response is automatically serialized to JSON by Flask's jsonify function.

Usage Example
# This is a Flask route handler, typically called via HTTP request
# Example HTTP request:
# GET /api/data-sections
# Headers: Authorization: Bearer <token>
# Example response on success:
# {
# "success": true,
# "data_sections": [
# {
# "id": "123",
# "name": "Sales Data",
# "user_email": "user@example.com",
# "created_at": "2024-01-01T00:00:00"
# }
# ]
# }
# Example usage in client code (JavaScript):
# fetch('/api/data-sections', {
# method: 'GET',
# headers: {
# 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
# }
# })
# .then(response => response.json())
# .then(data => {
# if (data.success) {
# console.log('Data sections:', data.data_sections);
# }
# });
Best Practices
- Always ensure the require_auth decorator is applied to protect this endpoint from unauthorized access
- The function properly handles exceptions and returns appropriate HTTP status codes (500 for server errors)
- Uses a service layer (data_section_service) for business logic separation, following good architectural patterns
- Logs errors for debugging and monitoring purposes
- Uses clean_for_json() to ensure data is properly serialized, avoiding JSON serialization errors
- Returns consistent response structure with 'success' flag for easy client-side handling
- Consider adding pagination if users can have many data sections to avoid performance issues
- Consider adding query parameters for filtering or sorting data sections
- Ensure proper CORS configuration if this API is accessed from different domains
- The get_current_user() function should be validated to ensure it returns a valid user email
