To install flask_reqparse use
pip install flask_reqparse
To parse the arguments with flask_reqparse, here is an example
from flask import Flask, jsonify
from flask_reqparse import RequestParser
parser = RequestParser()
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/api/json', methods=['POST'])
@parser.validate_arguments([
{
'name' : "name",
'required' : True,
'source' : 'args',
'help' : 'Name cannot be null'
}
])
def json_demo(args):
return jsonify({"response" : "hello " + args['name']})
@app.route('/api/args_demo')
@parser.validate_arguments([
{
'name' : "name",
'required' : True,
'type' : list
}
])
def args_demo(args):
return jsonify({"response" : args['name']})
if __name__ == '__main__':
