sanic-openapi-ext 0.1.0

Sanic OpenAPI extension offers an enhanced and convenient way to generate OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation from Marshmallow schemas

sanic-openapi-ext

sanic-openapi-ext is a Python package that provides a simplified method for generating OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation from Marshmallow schemas in a Sanic web application. It offers an explicit mapping between Marshmallow fields and OpenAPI fields, which aids in the automatic generation of precise API documentation.

Features

• Automatic generation of OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation from Marshmallow schemas.
• Handles different types of Marshmallow fields including basic types, complex types, dates, and numbers.
• Supports conversion of nested fields and lists.

Installation

pip install sanic-openapi-ext

Quick Start

Here's a simple example of how to use sanic-openapi-ext:

from marshmallow import Schema, fields
from sanic_openapi_ext import open_api_schemas

class UserSchema(Schema):
    name = fields.Str()
    birthdate = fields.Date()

# Generate OpenAPI schema from Marshmallow schema
user_openapi_schema = open_api_schemas(UserSchema())

Examples

Input/output simple schema object

Parameter represents query params as ExampleSchema

Response represents json output as ExampleSchema

from marshmallow import Schema, fields
from sanic import Sanic, response
from sanic_openapi_ext import open_api_schemas, open_api_schemas_params
from sanic_ext import openapi
from sanic_ext.extensions.openapi.definitions import Response


class ExampleSchema(Schema):
    name = fields.Str(required=True)
    age = fields.Integer(required=True)


app = Sanic("MyHelloWorldApp")


@app.get("/")
@openapi.definition(
    parameter=open_api_schemas_params(ExampleSchema()),
    response=[
        Response(open_api_schemas(ExampleSchema(), is_json=True), status=200),
    ],
)
async def get_and_return_example_schema(request):
    result = ExampleSchema().dump({"name": "John Doe", "age": 42})
    return response.json({"success": 200, "result": result})

Input schema object with enum, output - nested schema with enum

Parameter represents header params as ExampleSchema

Response represents json output as list of ExampleSchema

from enum import Enum
from marshmallow import Schema, fields
from sanic import Sanic, response
from sanic_openapi_ext import open_api_schemas, open_api_schemas_params
from sanic_ext import openapi
from sanic_ext.extensions.openapi.definitions import Response


class Color(Enum):
    RED = 1
    GREEN = 2
    BLUE = 3


class ExampleSchema(Schema):
    text = fields.Str()
    color = fields.Enum(Color)


class ExampleListSchema(Schema):
    items = fields.List(fields.Nested(ExampleSchema))


app = Sanic("MyHelloWorldApp")


@app.get("/")
@openapi.definition(
    parameter=open_api_schemas_params(ExampleSchema(), location="header"),
    response=[
        Response(open_api_schemas(ExampleListSchema(), is_json=True), status=200),
    ],
)
async def get_and_return_example_schema(request):
    result = ExampleListSchema().dump([{"text": "Lorem ipsum", "color": 1}], many=True)
    return response.json({"success": 200, "result": result})

Mapping reference

Below is a mapping table of how Marshmallow fields are converted into OpenAPI fields:

Marshmallow Field	OpenAPI Field
DateTime	doc.DateTime
Date	doc.Date
Time	doc.Time
Integer,Int	doc.Integer
Float	doc.Float
Decimal	doc.String
String, Str	doc.String
Boolean, Bool	doc.Boolean
Enum	doc.Schema
List	doc.Array
Nested	doc.Object

Note:

• If the many attribute of the Marshmallow schema is set to True, or if the input many attribute is True, a doc.List will be returned.
• If the input is_json attribute is True, a doc.JsonBody will be returned.
• If the field is of type fields.Enum, a doc.Schema, which accepts the enumeration, is returned.
• If the field is of type fields.List, the inner_field is accessed. If the inner_field is a fields.Nested, a doc.Object is returned with the properties of the nested schema. If the inner_fields belong to other types, a doc.Array is returned with the properties of the inner type.
• For fields not listed in the table, doc.String is used as a default.

Please, remember that this mapping may vary according to the use and the specific need of the project.
