I am using Flask-Restless for creating /api/v1/candidate. There I have used validation_exceptions=[MyValidationError]
# ... code snippet from my models.py ....
class MyValidationError(Exception):
pass
def validate_required_field(method):
def wrapper(self, key, string):
if not string:
exception = MyValidationError()
exception.errors = {key: 'must not be empty'}
raise exception
return method(self, key, string)
return wrapper
class Candidate(db.Model):
__tablename__ = 'candidate'
# ... snip ...
first_name = db.Column(db.String(100), nullable=False)
phone = db.Column(db.String(20), nullable=False, unique=True)
# ... snip ...
@orm.validates('first_name')
@validate_required_field
def validate_first_name(self, key, string):
return string
@orm.validates('phone')
@validate_required_field
def validate_first_name(self, key, string):
return string
Note: I have written validate_required_field decorator to avoid code repetition.
When I POST data to /api/v1/candidate with empty phone column, it validates it right and gives me error
{
"validation_errors": {
"phone": "must not be empty"
}
}
But when I pass empty first_name column, same thing does not happen :(
What am I doing wrong? Please help
