Validate JSON input using schema object

[Menda0]

Hi dharichandan,

This is a really old repo. In order to validate parameters use the default flask restful request parsing method. You can see more in https://flask-restful.readthedocs.io/en/0.3.5/reqparse.html.

It can be something like this:

parser = reqparse.RequestParser()
# Int argument
parser.add_argument('rate', type=int, help='Rate cannot be converted', required=True)
parser.add_argument('name')
args = parser.parse_args()

Thanks Marco,

I have tried this. But I was looking for something that takes the schema object and validates.

from flask_restful_swagger_2 import Schema

class User(Schema):
type = 'object'
properties = {
'name': {
'type': 'string',
'description': 'Name of User'
},
'id': {
'type': 'string',
'description': 'User Id'
}
}
required = ["name", "id"]

class UserListModel(Schema):
type = 'object'
properties = {
'users': UserModel
}
required = ["users"]

Now when I send a request like this -
{
"users": [
{
"name": "user1-testvm",
"id": 1
},
{
"name": "user2-testvm"
}
]
}

It should Identify that 2nd user element in missing a required parameter.

I found this package but when it comes to nested models like in this case, it fails to work.
