For googlers also that question in github.
I had users of 2 types. I need to validate user data by one of 2 schemas. I prepare awesome scratch with code of my idea, of course its not working.
class ExtraType0(Schema):
nickname = fields.String()
class ExtraType1(Schema):
id = fields.Integer()
class UserSchema(Schema):
type = fields.String()
extra = fields.Method(deserialize="get_extra_schema_by_user_type")
def get_extra_schema_by_user_type(self, obj):
if obj == 0:
# call ExtraType0 scheme and its (de)serialization
return fields.Nested(ExtraType0())
else:
# call ExtraType01scheme and its (de)serialization
return fields.Nested(ExtraType1())
# correct data
result = UserSchema().load(
{
"type": 0,
"extra": {
"id": 0
}
})
# also correct data
result1 = UserSchema().load(
{
"type": 1,
"extra": {
"nickname": "user123"
}
})
How I can proper choose schema depends on loaded in type field data?
