webargs-starlette is a library for declarative request parsing and
validation with `Starlette `_,
built on top of `webargs `_.

It has all the goodness of `webargs `_,
with some extra sugar for type annotations.

.. code-block:: python

import uvicorn
from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.responses import JSONResponse
from webargs_starlette import use_annotations

app = Starlette()

@app.route("/")
@use_annotations(location="query")
async def index(request, name: str = "World"):
return JSONResponse({"Hello": name})

if __name__ == "__main__":
uvicorn.run(app, port=5000)

# curl 'http://localhost:5000/'
# {"Hello": "World"}
# curl 'http://localhost:5000/?name=Ada'
# {"Hello": "Ada"}

Install
=======

::

pip install -U webargs-starlette

Usage
=====

Parser Usage
------------

Use ``parser.parse`` to parse a Starlette ``Request`` with a
dictionary of fields.

.. code-block:: python

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.responses import JSONResponse
from webargs import fields
from webargs_starlette import parser

app = Starlette()

@app.route("/")
async def homepage(request):
args = {
"name": fields.Str(required=True),
"greeting": fields.Str(load_default="hello"),
}
parsed = await parser.parse(args, request)
greeting = parsed["greeting"]
name = parsed["name"]
return JSONResponse({"message": f"{greeting} {name}"})

Decorators
----------

Use the ``use_args`` decorator to inject the parsed arguments
dictionary into the handler function. The following snippet is equivalent to the
first example.

**Important**: Decorated functions MUST be coroutine functions.

.. code-block:: python

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.responses import JSONResponse
from webargs import fields
from webargs_starlette import use_args

app = Starlette()

@app.route("/")
@use_args(
{"name": fields.Str(required=True), "greeting": fields.Str(load_default="hello")}
)
async def homepage(request, args):
greeting = args["greeting"]
name = args["name"]
return JSONResponse({"message": f"{greeting} {name}"})

The ``use_kwargs`` decorator injects the parsed arguments as keyword arguments.

.. code-block:: python

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.responses import JSONResponse
from webargs import fields
from webargs_starlette import use_args

app = Starlette()

@app.route("/")
@use_kwargs(
{"name": fields.Str(required=True), "greeting": fields.Str(load_default="hello")}
)
async def homepage(request, name, greeting):
return JSONResponse({"message": f"{greeting} {name}"})

See `decorator_example.py `_
for a more complete example of ``use_args`` and ``use_kwargs`` usage.

Error Handling
--------------

When validation fails, the parser will raise a ``WebargsHTTPException``,
which is the same as Starlette's ``HTTPException`` with the addition of
of the ``messages`` (validation messages), ``headers`` , ``exception`` (underlying exception), and ``schema`` (marshmallow ``Schema``) attributes.

You can use a custom exception handler to return the error messages as
JSON.

.. code-block:: python

from starlette.responses import JSONResponse
from webargs_starlette import WebargsHTTPException

@app.exception_handler(WebargsHTTPException)
async def http_exception(request, exc):
return JSONResponse(exc.messages, status_code=exc.status_code, headers=exc.headers)

Annotations
-----------

The ``use_annotations`` decorator allows you to parse request objects
using type annotations.

.. code-block:: python

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.responses import JSONResponse
from webargs_starlette import use_annotations

app = Starlette()

@app.route("/")
@use_annotations(location="query")
async def welcome(request, name: str = "Friend"):
return JSONResponse({"message": f"Welcome, {name}!"})

# curl 'http://localhost:5000/'.
# {"message":"Welcome, Friend!"}
# curl 'http://localhost:5000/?name=Ada'.
# {"message":"Welcome, Ada!"}

Any annotated argument that doesn't have a default value will be required.
For example, if we remove the default for ``name`` in the above example,
an 422 error response is returned if ``?name`` isn't passed.

.. code-block:: python

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.responses import JSONResponse
from webargs_starlette import use_annotations, WebargsHTTPException

app = Starlette()

@app.route("/")
@use_annotations(location="query")
async def welcome(request, name: str):
return JSONResponse({"message": f"Welcome, {name}!"})

@app.exception_handler(WebargsHTTPException)
async def http_exception(request, exc):
return JSONResponse(exc.messages, status_code=exc.status_code, headers=exc.headers)

# curl "http://localhost:5000/"
# {"name":["Missing data for required field."]}

Arguments may also be annotated with ``Field`` instances when you need
more control. For example, you may want to add a validator.

.. code-block:: python

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.responses import JSONResponse
from webargs import fields
from marshmallow import validate
from webargs_starlette import use_annotations, WebargsHTTPException

app = Starlette()

@app.route("/")
@use_annotations(location="query")
async def welcome(request, name: fields.Str(validate=validate.Length(min=2))):
return JSONResponse({"message": f"Welcome, {name}!"})

@app.exception_handler(WebargsHTTPException)
async def http_exception(request, exc):
return JSONResponse(exc.messages, status_code=exc.status_code, headers=exc.headers)

# curl "http://localhost:5000/?name=A"
# {"name":["Shorter than minimum length 2."]}

``HTTPEndpoint`` methods may also be decorated with ``use_annotations``.

.. code-block:: python

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.responses import JSONResponse
from starlette.endpoints import HTTPEndpoint
from webargs_starlette import use_annotations

app = Starlette()

@app.route("/")
class WelcomeEndpoint(HTTPEndpoint):
@use_annotations(location="query")
async def get(self, request, name: str = "World"):
return JSONResponse({"message": f"Welcome, {name}!"})

See `annotation_example.py `_
for a more complete example of ``use_annotations`` usage.
