how to structure this project

[r/ Wobben]

Hello,

I'm trying to build a site where the data is pulled out of a external json api.

Now I have 1 question.

Where do I do the fetching and parsing of the json. In the handler or schould I write seperate functions for it that the handler uses ?

I definitely recommend separate functions. I've always had a harder time working on services where the code for the handlers got long and was doing several things, as opposed to hust delegating the few steps to a few well thought out functions.

Alp,

Thanks,

So something like this :

type PaintingAPI = "paintings" :> read_all_json()  where read_all_json is a function which make a request to the api and parse it to a [] ?

I saw that I have to make 3 seperate calls to the api to get all the data.
