input(schema, location='json', arg_name=None, schema_name=None, example=None, examples=None, validation=True, **kwargs)

Add input settings for view functions.

If the validation passed, the data will be injected into the view function as a keyword argument in the form of dict and named {location}_data. Otherwise, an error response with the detail of the validation result will be returned.

Be sure to put it under the routes decorators (i.e., app.route, app.get, app.post, etc.).

Examples:

from apiflask import APIFlask

app = APIFlask(__name__)

@app.get('/')
@app.input(PetIn, location='json')
def hello(json_data):
    print(json_data)
    return 'Hello'!

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
schema	SchemaType	The marshmallow schema of the input data.	required
location	str	The location of the input data, one of 'json' (default), 'files', 'form', 'cookies', 'headers', 'query' (same as 'querystring').	'json'
arg_name	str | None	The name of the argument passed to the view function, defaults to {location}_data.	None
schema_name	str | None	The schema name for dict schema, only needed when you pass a schema dict (e.g., {'name': String(required=True)}) for json location.	None
example	Any | None	The example data in dict for request body, you should use either example or examples, not both.	None
examples	dict[str, Any] | None	Multiple examples for request body, you should pass a dict that contains multiple examples. Example: { 'example foo': { # example name 'summary': 'an example of foo', # summary field is optional 'value': {'name': 'foo', 'id': 1} # example value }, 'example bar': { 'summary': 'an example of bar', 'value': {'name': 'bar', 'id': 2} }, }	None
validation	bool	Flag to allow disabling of validation on input. Default to True.	True

*Version changed: 2.2.2

• Add parameter validation to allow disabling of validation on input.

Version changed: 2.0.0

• Always pass parsed data to view function as a keyword argument. The argument name will be in the form of {location}_data.

Be sure to put it under the routes decorators (i.e., app.route, app.get, app.post, etc.).

The decorator will format the return value of your view function with provided marshmallow schema. You can return a dict or an object (such as a model class instance of ORMs). APIFlask will handle the formatting and turn your return value into a JSON response.

P.S. The output data will not be validated; it's a design choice of marshmallow. marshmallow 4.0 may be support the output validation.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
schema	SchemaType	The schemas of the output data.	required
status_code	int	The status code of the response, defaults to 200.	200
description	str | None	The description of the response.	None
schema_name	str | None	The schema name for dict schema, only needed when you pass a schema dict (e.g., {'name': String()}).	None
example	Any | None	The example data in dict for response body, you should use either example or examples, not both.	None
examples	dict[str, Any] | None	Multiple examples for response body, you should pass a dict that contains multiple examples. Example: { 'example foo': { # example name 'summary': 'an example of foo', # summary field is optional 'value': {'name': 'foo', 'id': 1} # example value }, 'example bar': { 'summary': 'an example of bar', 'value': {'name': 'bar', 'id': 2} }, }	None
links	dict[str, Any] | None	The links of response. It accepts a dict which maps a link name to a link object. Example: { 'getAddressByUserId': { 'operationId': 'getUserAddress', 'parameters': { 'userId': '$request.path.id' } } } See the docs for more details about setting response links.	None
content_type	str | None	The content/media type of the response. It defaults to application/json.	'application/json'
