I have an Eve application running and I wanted to reorganize it (just to follow best practices) so that it looks similar to a flask application directory structure.
I tried to use something like this from flask
from flask_restful import Api
app=Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)
api.add_resource(resources.UserRegistration, '/registration')
like this in Eve:
from eve import Eve
app = Eve(auth=CustomAuth)
api = Api(app)
api.add_resource(resources.UserRegistration, '/registration')
I get the following error while starting the Eve application:
Traceback:

My resources.py file looks something like this:
from flask_restful import Resource
class UserRegistration(Resource):
def post(self):
return {'message': 'User registration'}
You could use Flask Blueprints to organize your routes in different files and then register them within the application. Check this eve documentation that mentions blueprints: https://docs.python-eve.org/en/stable/snippets/hooks_blueprints.html.
