from pydantic import BaseModel

from flask_openapi3 import Info, Tag
from flask_openapi3 import OpenAPI

info = Info(title="book API", version="1.0.0")
app = OpenAPI(__name__, info=info)

book_tag = Tag(name="book", description="Some Book")


class BookQuery(BaseModel):
    age: int
    author: str


@app.get("/book", summary="get books", tags=[book_tag])
def get_book(query: BookQuery):
    """
    to get all books
    """
    return {
        "code": 0,
        "message": "ok",
        "data": [
            {"bid": 1, "age": query.age, "author": query.author},
            {"bid": 2, "age": query.age, "author": query.author}
        ]
    }


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)
Class-based API View Example
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

from flask_openapi3 import OpenAPI, Tag, Info, APIView


info = Info(title="book API", version="1.0.0")
app = OpenAPI(__name__, info=info)

api_view = APIView(url_prefix="/api/v1", view_tags=[Tag(name="book")])


class BookPath(BaseModel):
    id: int = Field(..., description="book ID")


class BookQuery(BaseModel):
    age: int | None = Field(None, description="Age")


class BookBody(BaseModel):
    age: int | None = Field(..., ge=2, le=4, description="Age")
    author: str = Field(None, min_length=2, max_length=4, description="Author")


@api_view.route("/book")
class BookListAPIView:
    a = 1

    @api_view.doc(summary="get book list")
    def get(self, query: BookQuery):
        print(self.a)
        return query.model_dump_json()

    @api_view.doc(summary="create book")
    def post(self, body: BookBody):
        """description for a created book"""
        return body.model_dump_json()


@api_view.route("/book/<id>")
class BookAPIView:
    @api_view.doc(summary="get book")
    def get(self, path: BookPath):
        print(path)
        return "get"

    @api_view.doc(summary="update book")
    def put(self, path: BookPath):
        print(path)
        return "put"

    @api_view.doc(summary="delete book", deprecated=True)
    def delete(self, path: BookPath):
        print(path)
        return "delete"


app.register_api_view(api_view)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)
