kt.jsonapi 1.6.1

JSON:API support library.

kt.jsonapi supports generation of JSON:API responses using adaptation from application objects.

Input validation for JSON:API is not currently provided, but is planned for the future.

The current implementation works with the Flask web framework.

Release history

1.6.1 (2022-05-12)

1. Add missing long_description package metadata.

1.6.0 (2022-05-03)

1. First public release of kt.jsonapi.

2. Added support for Python 3.10, 3.11.

1.5.0 (2021-09-20)

1. Bug fix: The context methods created() and resource() could serialize the primary data into included as well as data if a circular relationship including the primary data passed into the call was included.

2. Fix tests inherited from the resource tests to actually invoked the created method when run as part of the tests for created.

3. Add response method related() to generate a serialized response for the target of a relationship. This is useful with regard to mutable to-one relationships because of the constraint that the related resource link not change because of changes to the referenced resource.

4. Allow a Flask application to provide specialized context implementations that can provide appropriate JSON:API Object values.

5. Support serialization of a JSON:API Object with all responses.

6. Avoid unintended chained exceptions in context() and error_context() high-level functions.

1.4.0 (2021-05-24)

1. Support JSON:API 1.1 enhancements to the link & error objects.

2. Support include and fields as appropriate for responses where the primary data is a relationship. This reflects an extension of the relationship interfaces with the name attribute, which remains optional; if not present, include and fields continue to generate an error.

3. Include content from relationships which were identified in the include query parameter even if the relationships themselves were excluded by a fields[...] parameter.

4. Update to modern PyPA tooling recommendations.

1.3.0 (2021-03-26)

1. Serialization of errors via adaptation is supported using a new context method. This includes support for multiple error objects in a single response. This does not cause JSON:API errors to be returned automatically from response methods on the context, since switching from a planned response to an error response should invoke content negotiation; this is left to integration layers.

2. Support relationships that cannot be included in composite documents using the include query string parameter. A request for inclusion of resources from a non-includable relationship will cause an exception indicating a 400 Bad Request response will be raised. Otherwise, the relationship will be serialized without a data element; only links and meta will be included, as appropriate.

1.2.1 (2021-01-12)

1. Support pagination links of None for collections and to-many relationships.

2. Treat an empty include query parameter as an empty list of relationship paths. This was previously silently treated as an empty relationship path, though invalid. https://github.com/json-api/json-api/issues/1530

1.2.0 (2021-01-04)

1. Manage query parameters for top-level self and pagination links. This can be a significant change for applications that deal with query parameters themselves. https://github.com/json-api/json-api/issues/1502

2. Fix generation of links for a relationship to correctly deal with collection-oriented query parameters (filter, page, sort).

3. Validate relationship paths passed to the include query parameter.

4. Change constructor for Context object to accept both the Flask application and request objects, and update call sites to de-proxy those before passing them in. This (slightly) improves the resilience of the constructed context to be less dependent on the source thread.

5. Change constructor signature for Link object to accept a meta parameter instead of assembling keyword parameters into the dictionary for arbitrary metadata. This will allow additional future flexibility for parameters with more specific interpretation.

1.1.0 (2020-10-27)

1. Added created() method on the context object, for use in returning a response containing a newly created resource. Similar to resource(), it returns a 201 status code and a serialization of the created resource.

1.0.1 (2020-09-18)

1. Support explicit request to receive no fields by resource type. This reflects a recent clarification added to the JSON:API specification.

2. Provide included in response if request includes an include query parameter, even if the value is an empty list. Improves conformance with JSON:API 1.1. https://github.com/json-api/json-api/issues/1230

3. Adapt source object to IResource in relationship implementations.

1.0.0 (2020-07-09)

First release, internal to Keeper Technology, LLC.
