parser-string-python
The parser which can get dict with strings and convert them to Python types like int, float, date, list etc. It can be useful for parsing request params via API.

How to create fields
There is 99% that you no need more than default fields. And that section is just for knowing how it works. Parser gets fields as required arguments. A field is a pair of key and value. This way any dict is many fields. Every filed inherits from base class Field. The Field has two important methods _is_valid_value() and _resolve(). Those methods should me override. The _resolve() converts a value to the necessary type. It's the main class method.
Also, a field can have property param_start_with. It's necessary when you want to set validation via param key. For example, there are fields list_ids and ids. You set param_start_with as list. It means only list_ids will be valid.
from parser_json_python.fields import Field
class FieldDate(Field):
param_start_with = 'date'
date_template = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'
def _is_valid_value(self, value):
try:
self._resolve(value)
return True
except ValueError:
return False
def _resolve(self, value):
return datetime.strptime(value, self.date_template)
How to create a parser
You can import DefaultParser with all default fields. If you want to create own parser you need to set fields as a list of Field object.
from parser_json_python.fields import *
DefaultParser = Parser(
fields=(FieldInt(), FieldFloat(), FieldList(), FieldDate(), FieldBoolean())
)
How to use a parser
A Parser has two methods. The first parse_field() is for convert one param and the second parse() for convert dict with params.
