@brockpalen I remember vaguely there is an option to skip none fields during marshalling. You will have to check the fields.raw and other classes used for marshalling. Alternatively, you could override the output function of any fields class and change the output to suit your needs

Brock Palen

@brockpalen

@harshalchaudhari35 Looks like there is a mask= option that is a callable, I'll try that and report.

@brockpalen here this is what I have referring to earlier

@brockpalen

@harshalchaudhari35 skip_none= is what I wanted actually, and it works perfectly becaus depending on configuration different values in the nested group are populated. In our case does our campus HPC cluster have single precision GPUs or not,

Turns out mask= does something I hacked around by having a nasty lambda function in my model so that will clean that up significantly,

Really appreciate it, I need to get in the habbit of looking at the prototypes and not just the normal example documentation,

@harshalchaudhari35

@brockpalen glad that helped and worked out for you. Yeah my experience has been the same and daunting with restx. Many times I find myself overriding many functions from the library.

Brock Palen

@brockpalen

NP, I really like the library, just wish it had more community behind it, it front ends out 14,000 CPU HPC cluster, and will soon front end our 20PB research archive, our univeristy really appreciates such an easy to understand library is available,

@brockpalen

Maybe I'm not grocking it, but how do I input validation when for POST requests @api.route("/<string:subaccount>/user/<string:uniquename>") How do I do stricter validation of uniquename much like parsing payloads? Do I do it all manually in my routine? Or is there something more strict than <string:varname> ?

Harshal Chaudhari

@harshalchaudhari35

Ah what you are looking for is more of base flask functionality here. Flask provides a set of converters types to validate/typecast the route params. You can create your own converter types as mentioned here. https://uniwebsidad.com/libros/explore-flask/chapter-6/url-converters

If you don't want to define your own stuff and prefer a library doing it for you heres one https://github.com/Ge0rg3/flask-parameter-validation seems to support whitelists and regex validation

Brock Palen

@brockpalen

Thanks i'll check that out

Brock Palen

@brockpalen

BTW do POST requests have to have a payload if all the values in the model are optional? I found my unit tests fail unless I send an empty payload.

Harshal Chaudhari

@harshalchaudhari35

Short answer is yes :) You could get away with using content-length header set to 0 also

Brock Palen

@brockpalen

Weird, then why do I get a 500 rc if I don't pass data=json.dumps({})

@RyanTruran

OAS3 allows for one response to have multiple schemas, through the use of oneOf, anyOf, allOf, not.
https://swagger.io/docs/specification/data-models/oneof-anyof-allof-not/
Does restx currently support this?

Matthew Jacobsen

@mjacobsen32

Can anyone offer some live support right now? I am having trouble with my routing. Keep getting 404 when routing to my API Blueprint, but the regular flask routes are getting reached just fine

Jamin Collins

@jamin.collins_gitlab

I'm having a bit of trouble with RequestParser and how to specify that an argument is a list of strings. From what I can find, action="append" should do it, but adding this appears to drop the element from the generated Swagger documentation.

Brock Palen

@brockpalen

Is there a flask library to generally protect against URL injection through routes? The flask security page didn't have anything that stuck out,

@dpeschman

@j5awry @ziirish Any ETA for the next bugfix release?

Giacomo Gritzan

@ggritzan_gitlab

I currently have problems with marshalling my Responses.

I am trying to do the following:

test_model = Model(
    "Test",
    {
        "_id": fields.String,
        "name": fields.String,
        "location": fields.String,
        "ip": fields.String,
    },
)

success_model = Model(
    "Success",
    {"data": fields.List(
        fields.Nested(test_model)
    )
    },
)

Without throwing any exception the data in the response is null

[{"status": "success", "data": null}']
Can somebody give me an advice?

@phuang07

hello all, I am new to restx, wondering when creating a model that has a one to many relationship, (e.g, order and order_items), how do i specify the field in the order model?

Tiago Tavares

@BigTava

Could enable the creation of models without automatically documenting, please?

It would be great to use @api.marshal_with(model) with multiple models, but not letting all of them be documented in swagger

FYI: i'm no longer a maintainer of python-restx. @ziirish is the final member left. I've removed my privs from Github. unfortunately, I have no time. and, honestly, i've started receiving personal emails asking about merges, etc. I don't have the capacity to deal with those.

Honestly, at this point, flask-restx is so far behind so many projects in capabilities, even if we merged in a few things, it'd be worth users finding new frameworks

Benjamin "Ziirish" SANS

@ziirish

Thanks j5awry for your time and efforts so far!

And I agree with you about the new frameworks that have more traction

Piotr Borowy

@Piotrbov_gitlab

I too thank for work with this framework. Do you have some proposal in some framework to use instead of RestX?

DEEP SHAH

@shahdeep1908

Is there any tutorials for RestX with jinja as I am not able to find any documentaion on google for some frontend with RESTX.

Tiago Tavares

@BigTava

Which ones should I use

I agree. Restx is quite limited
