Marshmallow-OneOfSchema
=======================
.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/maximkulkin/marshmallow-oneofschema.svg?branch=master
:target: https://travis-ci.org/maximkulkin/marshmallow-oneofschema
:alt: Build Status
An extenstion to Marshmallow to support schema (de)multiplexing.
Marshmallow is a fantastic library for serialization and deserialization of data.
For more on that project see its `GitHub <https://github.com/marshmallow-code/marshmallow>`_
page or its `Documentation <http://marshmallow.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_.
This library adds a special kind of schema that actually multiplexes other schemas
based on object type. When serializing values, it uses get_obj_type() method
to get object type name. Then it uses `type_schemas` name-to-Schema mapping
to get schema for that particular object type, serializes object using that
schema and adds an extra field with name of object type. Deserialization is reverse.
Installing
----------
::
$ pip install marshmallow-oneofschema
Importing
---------
Here is how to import the necessary field class
::
from marshmallow_oneofschema import OneOfSchema
Example
-------
The code below demonstrates how to setup a schema with a PolyField. For the full context check out the tests.
Once setup the schema should act like any other schema. If it does not then please file an Issue.
.. code:: python
import marshmallow
import marshmallow.fields
from marshmallow_oneofschema import OneOfSchema
class Foo(object):
def __init__(self, foo):
self.foo = foo
class Bar(object):
def __init__(self, bar):
self.bar = bar
class FooSchema(marshmallow.Schema):
foo = marshmallow.fields.String(required=True)
@marshmallow.post_load
def make_foo(self, data):
return Foo(**data)
class BarSchema(marshmallow.Schema):
bar = marshmallow.fields.Integer(required=True)
@marshmallow.post_load
def make_bar(self, data):
return Bar(**data)
class MyUberSchema(OneOfSchema):
type_schemas = {
'foo': FooSchema,
'bar': BarSchema,
}
def get_obj_type(self, obj):
if isinstance(obj, Foo):
return 'foo'
elif isinstance(obj, Bar):
return 'bar'
else:
raise Exception('Unknown object type: %s' % obj.__class__.__name__)
MyUberSchema().dump([Foo(foo='hello'), Bar(bar=123)], many=True).data
# => [{'type': 'foo', 'foo': 'hello'}, {'type': 'bar', 'bar': 123}]
MyUberSchema().load([{'type': 'foo', 'foo': 'hello'},
{'type': 'bar', 'bar': 123}],
many=True).data
# => [Foo('hello'), Bar(123)]
By default get_obj_type() returns obj.__class__.__name__, so you can just reuse that
to save some typing:
.. code:: python
class MyUberSchema(OneOfSchema):
type_schemas = {
'Foo': FooSchema,
'Bar': BarSchema,
}
You can customize type field with `type_field` class property:
.. code:: python
class MyUberSchema(OneOfSchema):
type_field = 'object_type'
type_schemas = {
'Foo': FooSchema,
'Bar': BarSchema,
}
MyUberSchema().dump([Foo(foo='hello'), Bar(bar=123)], many=True).data
# => [{'object_type': 'Foo', 'foo': 'hello'}, {'object_type': 'Bar', 'bar': 123}]
You can use resulting schema everywhere marshmallow.Schema can be used, e.g.
.. code:: python
import marshmallow as m
import marshmallow.fields as f
class MyOtherSchema(m.Schema):
items = f.List(f.Nested(MyUberSchema))
