We will create the resource classes that represent the user and the collection of users. First, we will create a UserResource class, which we will use to represent a user resource. Open the views.py file within the service folder and add the following lines after the line that creates the Api instance named service and before the declaration of the NotificationResource class. The code file for the sample is included in the restful_python_2_03_02 folder, in the Flask01/service/views.py file:
class UserResource(AuthenticationRequiredResource):
def get(self, id):
user = User.query.get_or_404(id)
result = user_schema.dump(user).data
