======================= marshmallow-annotations

marshmallow-annotations allows you to create marshmallow schema from classes with annotations on them

.. code-block:: python

from marshmallow_annotations import AnnotationSchema
from .music import Album, Artist

class AlbumScheme(AnnotationSchema):
    class Meta:
        target = Album
        register_as_scheme = True


class ArtistScheme(AnnotationSchema):
    class Meta:
        target = Artist
        register_as_scheme = True


scheme = ArtistScheme()
scheme.dump(
    Artist(
        id=1, name="Abominable Putridity",
        albums=[
            Album(
                id=1,
                name="The Anomalies of Artificial Origin"
            )
        ]
    )
)

# {
#     "albums": [
#         {
#             "id": 1,
#             "name": "The Anomalies of Artificial Origin"
#         }
#     ],
#     "id": 1,
#     "name": "Abominable Putridity"
# }

Installation

marshmallow-annotations is available on pypi <https://pypi.org/project/marshmallow-annotations/>_ and installable with::

pip install marshmallow-annotations

marshmallow-annotations supports Python 3.6+ and marshmallow 2.x.x

.. note::

If you are install ``marshmallow-annotations`` outside of a virtual
environment, consider installing with
``pip install --user marshmallow-annotations`` rather than using sudo or
adminstrator privileges to avoid installing it into your system Python.

Why?

Keeping up with entity definitions, ORM mappings and schema shapes can be a huge pain the butt. If you change one thing, you need to change three things.

Instead, marshmallow-annotations wants to drive schema shapes from your entity defintions (with a little help from you of course).
