Project description
Flask + marshmallow for beautiful APIs
Flask-Marshmallow is a thin integration layer for Flask (a Python web framework) and marshmallow (an object serialization/deserialization library) that adds additional features to marshmallow, including URL and Hyperlinks fields for HATEOAS-ready APIs. It also (optionally) integrates with Flask-SQLAlchemy.

# Fields to expose
fields = ("email", "date_created", "_links")
# Smart hyperlinking
_links = ma.Hyperlinks(
{
"self": ma.URLFor("user_detail", values=dict(id="<id>")),
"collection": ma.URLFor("users"),
}
)
user_schema = UserSchema()
users_schema = UserSchema(many=True)Output the data in your views.
@app.route("/api/users/")
def users():
all_users = User.all()

@app.route("/api/users/<id>")
def user_detail(id):
user = User.get(id)
