Swagger API documentation and flask-restplus: How to represent an object with a key in the body of a request












0














I have this example of the parameter needed in the body of a PUT request to my API:



{
"id": "string",
"closed_date": "2018-11-20T18:42:58.946Z",
"contact": "string",
"description": "string",
"status": "Open"
}


To have it represented in my Swagger end point documentation I did this :



@api.doc(body=card_change_fields)
def put(self, card_id, *args, **kwargs):


Where:



card_change_fields = api.model('card modification', {

'id': fields.String(description='id', required=True),
'closed_date': fields.DateTime(description='Closed date'),
'contact': fields.String(description='Contact'),
'description': fields.String(description='Description'),
'status': fields.String(description='Status', required=True,
enum=["Open", "Closed"])
})


However what I want is actually this :



{  card : {
"id": "string",
"closed_date": "2018-11-20T18:42:58.946Z",
"contact": "string",
"description": "string",
"status": "Open" }
}


How can I do this in my flask-restplus swagger documentation ?
I tried with child and parent model and expect with no success



Thanks,
DT

          You need to use fields.Nested to use a model to be a input of another Model. Check the code below:



          card_change_fields = api.model('card modification', {
          'id': fields.String(description='id', required=True),
          'closed_date': fields.DateTime(description='Closed date'),
          'contact': fields.String(description='Contact'),
          'description': fields.String(description='Description'),
          'status': fields.String(description='Status', required=True,
          enum=["Open", "Closed"])
          })

          card = api.model('Card', {
          'card': fields.Nested(card_change_fields, required=True)
          })


          And respectively your doc rendering will also change to:



          @api.doc(body=card)
          def put(self, card_id, *args, **kwargs):
