Flask + marshmallow for beautiful APIs
Project description
Flask + marshmallow for beautiful APIs
Flask-Marshmallow is a thin integration layer for Flask (a Python web framework) and marshmallow (a serialization library) that adds additional features to marshmallow, including URL and Hyperlinks fields for HATEOAS-ready APIs.
Create your app.
from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask.ext.marshmallow import Marshmallow
app = Flask(__name__)
ma = Marshmallow(app)
Write your models.
from your_orm import Model, Column, Integer, String, DateTime
class User(Model):
email = Column(String)
password = Column(String)
date_created = Column(DateTime, auto_now_add=True)
Define your output format with marshmallow.
class UserMarshal(ma.Serializer):
class Meta:
# Fields to expose
fields = ('email', 'date_created', '_links')
# Smart hyperlinking
_links = ma.Hyperlinks({
'self': ma.URL('author_detail', id='<id>'),
'collection': ma.URL('authors')
})
Output the data in your views.
@app.route('/api/users/')
def authors():
users = User.all()
serialized = UserMarshal(users, many=True)
return jsonify(serialized.data)
@app.route('/api/users/<id>')
def author_detail(id):
user = User.get(id)
serialized = UserMarshal(user)
return jsonify(serialized.data)
# {
# "email": "fred@queen.com",
# "date_created": "Fri, 25 Apr 2014 06:02:56 -0000",
# "_links": {
# "self": "/api/authors/42",
