flask - something more strict than @api.expect for input data?

Question

In my flask-restplus API I\'d like not only to check that input data, like in the following example

resource_fields = api.model(\'Resource\', {
    \'name\': fie         


        

Answer 1

For those that want to continue using the api.model rather than request parser, it's possible to iterate over your input (assuming list) versus the model. The model behaves like a dictionary.

from flask_restplus import abort

def check_exact(response_list, model):
    for response_dict in response_list:
        for key in response_dict:
            if key not in model:
                abort(400, "Non-specified fields added", field=key)

...

@ns.expect(my_model, validate=True)
def post(self, token):
    """Add new set of responses
    """
    check_exact(api.payload['responses'], my_model)
    ...
