I spent all afternoon trying to figure this out. I've checked the flask documentation, mostly flask-marshmallow documentation most notably the sqlalchemy integration part and some other stackoverflow questions.
Is this something to do with serialization? I thought it was taken care of by using the flask-sqlalchemy package?
When I run this with a postman request, I get:
{
"name": [
"Unknown field."
]
}
My code:
Schema
from ma import ma
from models.form import FormModel
class FormSchema(ma.SQLAlchemySchema):
class Meta:
model = FormModel
Model
from db import db
class FormModel(db.Model):
__tablename__ = "forms"
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
name = db.Column(db.String(255))
Resource
from flask_restful import Resource
from flask import request
from models.form import FormModel
from schemas.form import FormSchema
from db import db
form_schema = FormSchema()
class NewForm(Resource):
@classmethod
def post(cls):
print("Request:")
print(request.get_json())
print("Form schema load:")
#print(form_schema.load(request.get_json()))
form = form_schema.load(request.get_json())
print("Form")
#print(form)
db.session.add(form)
db.session.commit()
#form_schema.dump(form)
app.py
from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_restful import Api
from marshmallow import ValidationError
from db import db
from ma import ma
from models.form import FormModel
from schemas.form import FormSchema
from resources.form import NewForm
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI"] = "sqlite:///test.db"
api = Api(app)
@app.before_first_request
def create_tables():
db.create_all()
@app.errorhandler(ValidationError)
def handle_marshmallow_validation(err):
return jsonify(err.messages), 400
api.add_resource(NewForm, "/form")
if __name__ == "__main__":
db.init_app(app)
ma.init_app(app)
app.run(port=5000, debug=True)
db.py
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
db = SQLAlchemy()
ma.py
from flask_marshmallow import Marshmallow
ma = Marshmallow()
