quart-schema 0.15.0

A Quart extension to provide schema validation

Quart-Schema is a Quart extension that provides schema validation and auto-generated API documentation. This is particularly useful when writing RESTful APIs.

Quickstart

Quart-Schema can validate an existing Quart route by decorating it with validate_querystring, validate_request, or validate_response. It can also validate the JSON data sent and received over websockets using the send_as and receive_as methods.

from dataclasses import dataclass
from datetime import datetime

from quart import Quart, websocket
from quart_schema import QuartSchema, validate_request, validate_response

app = Quart(__name__)
QuartSchema(app)

@dataclass
class Todo:
    task: str
    due: datetime | None

@app.post("/")
@validate_request(Todo)
@validate_response(Todo, 201)
async def create_todo(data: Todo) -> tuple[Todo, int]:
    ... # Do something with data, e.g. save to the DB
    return data, 201

@app.websocket("/ws")
async def ws() -> None:
    while True:
        data = await websocket.receive_as(Todo)
        ... # Do something with data, e.g. save to the DB
        await websocket.send_as(data, Todo)

The documentation is served by default at /openapi.json according to the OpenAPI standard, or at /docs for a SwaggerUI interface, or /redocs for a redoc interface. Note that there is currently no documentation standard for WebSockets.
