py-jsonapi-flask

This extension connects your Flask application with py-jsonapi.

Installation

You can install this extension via PyPi:

$ pip3 install py-jsonapi-flask

How to

You can use py-jsonapi-flask like every other Flask extension:

from flask import Flask
from jsonapi_flask.api import API

app = Flask(__name__)
api = API("/api", flask_app=app)

You can also register the extension later via init_app():

api.init_app(app)

In these examples, the API will take control over all urls starting with /api/.

current_api

You can access the current API via the extensions dictionary of the flask application:

app.extensions["jsonapi"]

or you use the global variable current_api:

from jsonapi_flask.api import current_api

The API instance is also added to the jinja environment:

<p>
    You can download your profile
    <a href="{{ jsonapi.resource_uri(current_user) }}">
        here
    </a>
</p>

current_request

You can also access the current py-jsonapi request object:

from jsonapi_flask.api import current_request

The request is also added to the jinja environment under the name jsonapi_request.
