I'm using Quart-Schema and have defined an endpoint for a multipart call with the help of https://pgjones.gitlab.io/quart-schema/how_to_guides/request_validation.html.
Looks like this:
@dataclass
class File:
file: Optional[UploadFile] = None
title: Optional[str] = None
description: Optional[str] = None
type: Optional[str] = None
@bp.post('/<int:entity_id>/files')
@validate_request(File, source=DataSource.FORM)
async def post_file(data: File, entity_id):
"""Add file for entity to database"""
The important bit is source=DataSource.FORM so it will pick up the form data instead of expecting JSON.
Works great! And this is how it looks in Swagger (auto-generated docs):
It correctly shows all the fields and types and even includes an upload button. The only issue is, the request body type in Swagger is defined as application/x-www-urlencoded (only option in the drop-down). When I try out this request, it works when only sending plain field data, but when I add a file, it fails.
I can see no way to change this to multipart/form-data although I've seen Swagger examples showing this (though these examples don't use Quart-Schema, unfortunately).
It seems source=DataSource.FORM determines the request body type. Since there are only two options for source (the other one being DataSource.JSON) I see no way of getting Swagger to show/send multipart/form-data.
Is this a limitation of Quart-Schema, and if so: is there a solution for this?
