Flask-restplus：有什么方法可以大摇大摆地对命名空间进行排序？

Question

Is there any way to sort the Namespace entries after they've been added to the Api?

I'm following the documentation, and the flow (AFAIK) appears to be:

a) Create the API:

api = Api(version="1.0",
      title="MahApi",
      description="Mah Nice Little API",
      doc="/swagger-ui",
      strict_slashes=False)

b) Define namespaces:

ns = Namespace("sample_namespace",
           description="sample module api",
           path='/sample_one')
...
@ns.route('/test1', endpoint='sample_ns_test1')
class TestApi(Resource):

    def get(self):
        df = mah_service.get_some_data()
        return jsonify(json.loads(df.to_json(orient='records')))

c) Add namespaces to the API:

api.add_namespace(mah_sample_ns)

Where I'm facing an issue (albeit it's a cosmetic yet annoying one) is that the namespaces are not being sorted in any way. It seems that I will need to sort the namespaces myself, manually, in code. Is there a more clever, pythonic way to get swagger to sort the namespaces?

Answer 1

I am probably way too late but I have been wondering the same thing but with flask_restx so posting this to hopefully help others. But it seems to go by the order in which your namespaces are imported.

For example:

from rest.endpoints.Episodes import ns as episodes_namespace
from rest.endpoints.Plex import ns as plex_namespace
from rest.endpoints.Server import ns as server_namespace

Will be ordered in swagger as:

1. Episodes
2. Plex
3. Server

While:

from rest.endpoints.Server import ns as server_namespace
from rest.endpoints.Episodes import ns as episodes_namespace
from rest.endpoints.Plex import ns as plex_namespace

Will be ordered in swagger as:

1. Server
2. Episodes
3. Plex
