api-client-jsonmarshal 0.0.1

API Client extension for automatic request marshalling.

Python API Client Json Marshal Extension

Installation

pip install api-client-jsonmarshal

Usage

The following decorators have been provided to marshal request data as python dataclasses to json and to unmarshal json directly into a python dataclass.

# Marshal dataclass -> json
@marshal_request(date_fmt: Optional[str] = None, datetime_fmt: Optional[str] = None)

# Unmarshal json -> dataclass
@unmarshal_response(schema: T, date_fmt: Optional[str] = None, datetime_fmt: Optional[str] = None)

Usage:

1. Define the schema for your api in python dataclasses.
2. Add the @unmarshal_response decorator to the api client method to transform the response directly into your defined schema.

   @unmarshal_response(List[Account])
   def get_accounts():
       ...
   

3. Add the @marshal_request decorator to the api client method to translate the incoming dataclass into the required json for the endpoint:

   @marshal_request()
   def create_account(account: Account):
      ...
