## Few-Shot Examples
### Example 1: API Endpoint Implementation
**Task**: Implement user profile update API endpoint
**Requirements**: Allow users to update their profile information with validation
**Implementation Approach**:
```python
# Implementation Plan
"""
1. Create ProfileUpdateRequest model with validation
2. Implement profile update service method
3. Create API endpoint with proper error handling
4. Add comprehensive tests
5. Update API documentation
"""
# Step 1: Create validation model
from pydantic import BaseModel, EmailStr, validator
from typing import Optional
class ProfileUpdateRequest(BaseModel):
first_name: Optional[str] = None
last_name: Optional[str] = None
email: Optional[EmailStr] = None
bio: Optional[str] = None
@validator('first_name', 'last_name')

### Example 2: Database Migration Implementation
**Task**: Implement database migration for user preferences table
**Requirements**: Create new table structure and migrate existing data
**Implementation Approach**:
```sql
-- Migration Plan
/*
1. Create new user_preferences table
2. Migrate existing user data
3. Add constraints and indexes
4. Update application code
5. Test migration process
6. Document changes
*/
-- Step 1: Create new table structure
CREATE TABLE user_preferences (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
user_id INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE,
theme VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'light',
language VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT 'en',
notifications_enabled BOOLEAN DEFAULT true,
email_frequency VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'daily',
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
CONSTRAINT fk_user_preferences_user
FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id)
ON DELETE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT check_theme
CHECK (theme IN ('light', 'dark', 'auto')),
CONSTRAINT check_language
CHECK (language IN ('en', 'es', 'fr', 'de')),
CONSTRAINT check_email_frequency
CHECK (email_frequency IN ('never', 'daily', 'weekly', 'monthly'))
);
-- Step 2: Create indexes for performance
CREATE INDEX idx_user_preferences_user_id ON user_preferences(user_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_user_preferences_theme ON user_preferences(theme);
CREATE INDEX idx_user_preferences_language ON user_preferences(language);
-- Step 3: Migrate existing data
INSERT INTO user_preferences (user_id, theme, language, notifications_enabled)
SELECT
u.id,
COALESCE(u.settings->>'theme', 'light') as theme,
COALESCE(u.settings->>'language', 'en') as language,
COALESCE((u.settings->>'notifications_enabled')::boolean, true) as notifications_enabled
FROM users u
WHERE u.settings IS NOT NULL
ON CONFLICT (user_id) DO NOTHING;
-- Step 4: Create default preferences for users without settings
INSERT INTO user_preferences (user_id)
SELECT id FROM users u
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT 1 FROM user_preferences up WHERE up.user_id = u.id
);
-- Step 5: Update application models
```
```python
# Updated User model with preferences relationship
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, Boolean, DateTime, ForeignKey
from sqlalchemy.orm import relationship
from sqlalchemy.sql import func
class UserPreference(Base):
__tablename__ = 'user_preferences'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
user_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('users.id'), unique=True, nullable=False)
theme = Column(String(20), default='light')
language = Column(String(10), default='en')
notifications_enabled = Column(Boolean, default=True)
email_frequency = Column(String(20), default='daily')
created_at = Column(DateTime, default=func.now())
updated_at = Column(DateTime, default=func.now(), onupdate=func.now())
# Relationship
user = relationship("User", back_populates="preferences")
def to_dict(self):
return {
'id': self.id,
'user_id': self.user_id,
'theme': self.theme,
'language': self.language,
'notifications_enabled': self.notifications_enabled,
'email_frequency': self.email_frequency,
'created_at': self.created_at.isoformat() if self.created_at else None,
'updated_at': self.updated_at.isoformat() if self.updated_at else None
}
# Updated User model
class User(Base):
__tablename__ = 'users'
# ... existing fields ...
# New relationship
preferences = relationship("UserPreference", back_populates="user", uselist=False)
def get_preference(self, key, default=None):
"""Get user preference value"""
if not self.preferences:
return default
return getattr(self.preferences, key, default)
def set_preference(self, key, value):
"""Set user preference value"""
if not self.preferences:
self.preferences = UserPreference(user_id=self.id)
setattr(self.preferences, key, value)
```
