[ziirish]

This allows you to use fields.Nested or fields.List as Wildcard inner fields.

Is there an example of its usage anywhere?

I would like to use it for a nested dictionary, but cannot seem to figure out the correct syntax.

There is an example here and another one here

I'll have a look at improving the doc for such use-case.

Hi Ziirish,

thanks a lot for your (very quick) response. The examples are very useful.

I believe I am following pretty much the same syntax as here:

nest = fields.List(fields.Nested(span_templates_model_post))
wild = fields.Wildcard(nest)
wildcard_field =  {'*': wild}

templates_model_post = api.model("TemplateModelPost", {
    "fields": fields.Nested(wildcard_field)
})

However, trying to use this model for marshalling, gives me the following error:
File "/Users/jens/.virtualenvs/alfred/lib/python3.7/site-packages/flask_restplus/fields.py", line 225, in output return marshal(value, self.nested, skip_none=self.skip_none, ordered=ordered) File "/Users/jens/.virtualenvs/alfred/lib/python3.7/site-packages/flask_restplus/marshalling.py", line 92, in marshal value == field.container.format(field.default): File "/Users/jens/.virtualenvs/alfred/lib/python3.7/site-packages/flask_restplus/fields.py", line 287, in format for idx, val in enumerate(value) TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

The current patch is not yet available in any stable release. What version of Flask-RESTPlus are you using?

We are in the process of releasing a new stable version, but we are waiting for the main developer (@noirbizarre) to push that release on Pypi.

I had upgraded to the latest stable version to test the WildCards: name : flask-restplus version : 0.13.0 I suppose the only way to already have the patch is to clone the repository then?

you can do a pip install git+ssh as well. Unfortunately, only one person has keys to release, and we've been unable to get ahold of that person for several weeks now. We've got an open ticket to cut a release.
