Flask restful parser list dictionary

Question

I have an example parse request list dictionary:

{
    "shopping_cart": [{
        "id": 23323,
        "qty": 10
    }, {
        "id": 34232,
        "qty": 9
    }, {
        "id": 34232,
        "qty": 9
    }]
}

How can i parse it use flask_restful RequestParser ?

Answer 1

Use something like this :)

self.postreqparse = reqparse.RequestParser()
self.postreqparse.add_argument("shopping_cart", type=dict, action="append")
