Careful! Using the class as it currently is, we'd be able to make a planet with a null name and description. When making classes in the future, consider which columns are required (non-nullable).

Also, I highly recommend adding a helper method to turn planet instances into a dictionary (this will definitely save you from writing a few lines of code down the road)!

Consider separating each request method into its different functions. This makes testing the endpoints much easier to do and follows the single responsibility principle.

| { | ||
| "id": planet.id, | ||

We could reduce these lines of code using a helper method to turn the planet object into a dictionary in the Planets class:
| planets_response = [] | |
| for planet in planets: | |
| planets_response.append( | |
| { | |
| "id": planet.id, | |
| "name": planet.name, | |
| "description": planet.description | |
| }) | |
| planets_response = [] | |
| for planet in planets: | |
| planets_response.append(planet.to_dict()) |
And further refactor using a list comprehension :D
| planets_response = [] | |
| for planet in planets: | |
| planets_response.append( | |
| { | |
| "id": planet.id, | |
| "name": planet.name, | |
| "description": planet.description | |
| }) | |
| planets_response = [ planets_response.append(planet.to_dict()) for planet in planets ] | |
| request_body = request.get_json() | ||
| new_planet = Planet(name=request_body["name"], | ||
| description=request_body["description"]) |

We should check if request_body contains falsy values so that a planet isn't created with empty data!
| } | ||
|
|
||
| elif request.method == "PUT": | ||
| request_body = request.get_json() |

We should always check if the request_body is empty
| db.session.commit() | ||
|
|
||
| return make_response(f"Planet #{planet.id} successfully updated") | ||
| elif request.method == "DELETE": |
| def test_so_fancy(so_fancy): | ||
| assert so_fancy.fancy | ||
| so_fancy.or_is_it() | ||
| assert not so_fancy.fancy |
| # db.session.add(ocean_book) | ||
| # db.session.add(mountain_book) | ||
| db.session.commit() | ||

Consider returning [saturn_planet, pluto_planet] after this line, so that tests can make use of the attributes of the records (like the id or name of planet)
