A Quart extension to provide schema validation

Project description

Build Status docs pypi python license

Quart-Schema is a Quart extension that provides schema validation and auto-generated API documentation. This is particularly useful when writing RESTful APIs.

Quickstart

To add validation to an existing Quart route simply decorate it with validate_request and validate_response, with the relevant (Pydantic) dataclass objects,

from datetime import datetime
from typing import Optional

from pydantic.dataclasses import dataclass
from quart import Quart
from quart_schema import QuartSchema, validate_request, validate_response

app = Quart(__name__)
QuartSchema(app)

@dataclass
class Todo:
    task: str
    due: Optional[datetime]

@app.route("/", methods=["POST"])
@validate_request(Todo)
@validate_response(Todo, 201)
async def create_todo(data: Todo) -> Todo:
    ... # Do something with data, e.g. save to the DB
    return data, 201

The documentation UI will be served by default at /docs from the openapi definition at /openapi.json.

Quart-Schema also allows validation of JSON data sent and received over websockets, although at present there is no standard to document this,

from datetime import datetime
from typing import Optional

from pydantic.dataclasses import dataclass
from quart import Quart
from quart_schema import QuartSchema, websocket

app = Quart(__name__)
QuartSchema(app)

@dataclass
class Todo:
    task: str
    due: Optional[datetime]

@app.websocket("/ws")
async def create_todo() -> None:
    while True:
        data = await websocket.receive_as(Todo)
        ... # Do something with data, e.g. save to the DB
        await websocket.send_as(data, Todo)

Contributing

Quart-Schema is developed on GitLab. If you come across an issue, or have a feature request please open an issue. If you want to contribute a fix or the feature-implementation please do (typo fixes welcome), by proposing a merge request.

Testing

The best way to test Quart-Schema is with Tox,

$ pip install tox
$ tox

this will check the code style and run the tests.

Help

The Quart-Schema documentation is the best places to start, after that try searching stack overflow or ask for help on gitter. If you still can’t find an answer please open an issue.
