Seeking to fire Validator at app level

[nicolaiarocci]

The eve.io.mongo.Validator class uses the flaskapp application context to validate the unique constraint (needs access to the MongoDB instance, something that can't be done on the client). It will probably work when/if you don't have unique in your schema, or if it is set to False. As a workaround you might want to use your own Cerberus instance, or even better a eve.io.mongo.Validator subclass which would ignore the unique constraint, but still honor ObjectId validation. For further reference check this code.

I guess you'd want to do something like that to avoid sending stuff over the wire, and save on server resources.

It occurs to me that it would seem possible to wire up a Validator class like ValidatorDb where you pass in an app or db instance. That way to you pipe data directly into db using same validation logic. Then you can more easily write management scripts, etc. What do you think?

You know, I think I totally misunderstood your context. At first I thought you were attempting to validate from the client while (obviously) you're talking about server side validation.

Are you passing the custom validator as an argument at startup, such as in:

app = Eve(validator=MyValidator)
