Question

I am new Flask and Postgres...

I am following this tutorial: https://auth0.com/blog/using-python-flask-and-angular-to-build-modern-apps-part-1/

I have created a Entity like this:

from marshmallow import Schema, fields
from sqlalchemy import Column, String, Boolean, Date

from .entity import Entity, Base


class Strategy(Entity, Base):
    __tablename__ = 'strategies'

    name = Column(String)
    description = Column(String)
    startDate = Column(Date)
    endDate = Column(Date)
    allowTeamToVote = Column(Boolean)
    votingDeadline = Column(Date)
    isActive = Column(Boolean)

    def __init__(self, name, description, startDate, endDate, allowTeamToVote, votingDeadline, created_by):
        Entity.__init__(self, created_by)
        self.name = name
        self.description = description
        self.startDate = startDate
        self.endDate = endDate
        self.allowTeamToVote = allowTeamToVote
        self.votingDeadline = votingDeadline
        self.isActive = True

class StrategySchema(Schema):
    id = fields.Number()
    name = fields.Str()    
    description = fields.Str()
    startDate = fields.DateTime()
    endDate = fields.DateTime()
    allowTeamToVote = fields.Boolean()
    votingDeadline = fields.DateTime()
    isActive = fields.Boolean()
    created_at = fields.DateTime()
    updated_at = fields.DateTime()
    last_updated_by = fields.Str()

and a Post Method:

@app.route('/strategies', methods=['POST'])
@requires_auth
def add_strategy():
    # mount Strategy object
    print(request.get_json())
    posted_strategy = StrategySchema(only=('name', 'description', 'startDate', 'endDate', 'allowTeamToVote', 'votingDeadline', 'isActive'))\
        .load(request.get_json())
print(posted_strategy.data)


    strategy = Strategy(**posted_strategy.data, created_by="HTTP post request")

    # persist Strategy
    session = Session()
    session.add(strategy)
    session.commit()

    # return created Strategy
    new_strategy = StrategySchema().dump(Strategy).data
    session.close()
    return jsonify(new_strategy), 201

What doesn't getting converted when .load(request.get_json()) method is called is all three datetime values.

I get the following error:

 __init__() missing 3 required positional arguments: 'startDate', 'endDate', and 'votingDeadline'

What am I doing wrong?

---

1st print statement:

{'objectives': [{'name': 'afasdfdsa'}], 'name': 'sdasdfdsaf', 'description': 'df
asfasdf', 'startDate': '05/31/2018', 'endDate': '05/31/2018', 'allowTeamToVote':
True, 'votingDeadline': '05/31/2018'}

2nd print statement:

{'allowTeamToVote': True, 'name': 'asfdfsd', 'description': 'dsfasdfs'}

Full Exception:

What doesn't getting converted when .load(request.get_json()) method is called is all three datetime values.

Your second print statement is outside of the function. So you are getting the wrong output.

I get the following error:

You are passing a dict(key-value pairs) to the method but it is expecting positional arguments.

Change this line to this:

`strategy = Strategy(*posted_strategy.data.values(), created_by="HTTP post request")`

In all, something like this:

@app.route('/strategies', methods=['POST'])
@requires_auth
def add_strategy():
    # mount Strategy object
    print(request.get_json())
    posted_strategy = StrategySchema(only=('name', 'description', 'startDate', 'endDate', 'allowTeamToVote', 'votingDeadline', 'isActive'))\
        .load(request.get_json())
    print(posted_strategy.data)


    strategy = Strategy(*posted_strategy.data.values(), created_by="HTTP post request")

Marshmallow has another way of achieving the same result, as noted in the documentation here .
