Flask-ResponseBuilder
=====================

|download| |version|

Implementations of flask response in many formats: base64, csv, json, xml, html, yaml.
You can create your own builder extending ``Builder`` class and registering it with ``register_builder`` method.

Every builders are registered as attribute of ``ResponseBuilder`` class so you can invoke method from this class
with builder's name and it automatically create a response with that builder.

Also you can used ``Builder`` without response by invoking static methods: ``to_me``, ``to_dict``.

Based on PyYAML, xmltodict, dicttoxml. See their documentation for other options.

- Decorator for http response status ``204 NO_CONTENT``
- Response based on ``Accept`` header of request
- Response based on format parameter (query string)
- template_or_json: response based on xhr request (deprecated: works only with old js library)
- Support for case notation checker and converter, see ``Case`` utility class.
- ``Transformer``: utility class for data notation conversion

**NOTE**: From 2.1.11 the ``dicttoxml`` package seems to be abandoned, so a copy of module ``dicttoxml``
is ported in this package to fix deprecation warning, but if ``dicttoxml`` is installed it has priority.
In future will be removed and the internal module will be improved.

Quickstart
~~~~~~~~~~

Install ``flask_response_builder`` using ``pip``:

::

$ pip install Flask-ResponseBuilder

Then import it into your project:

::

$ from flask_response_builder import ResponseBuilder

.. _section-1:

Example usage
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code:: python

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['RB_HTML_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE'] = 'response.html'
rb = ResponseBuilder(app)

@app.route('/nocontent')
@rb.no_content
def nocontent():
pass

@app.route('/xhr')
@rb.template_or_json('response.html')
def test_xhr():
return data

@app.route('/onaccept')
@rb.on_accept(acceptable=['application/json', 'application/xml'])
def test_accept():
return data

@app.route('/format')
@rb.on_format()
def test_format():
return data

For every registered builder you can explicitly use them in two ways:

.. code:: python

@app.route('/decorator')
@rb.response('json')
def test_decorator():
return data, 200, {'header': 'header'}

@_app.route('/csv')
def index_csv():
builder = rb.csv(filename='file.csv')
return builder((data, 200))
