Is there a way to have an attribute defined as a struct of some sort?

[joegaudet]

I have a JSONAPI endpoint that returns nested value objects, such as a contact. Wondering if there's a way to express that here, or if jsonapi-requests only supports primitives?

Example:

class LogisticsDelivery(jsonapi_requests.orm.ApiModel):
    class Meta:
        type = 'logistics-deliveries'
        api = api

    contact = jsonapi_requests.orm.AttributeField('contact')

deliveries = LogisticsDelivery.get_list()
for delivery in deliveries:
    pprint(delivery.contact)

Which outputs

{'email': 'Vancouver_client@food.ee',
 'extension': None,
 'first-name': 'Vancouver',
 'last-name': 'Client',
 'phone-number': '+12122708174',
 'phone-type': 'none',
 'sms-number': '4797755354'}

What I'd love is to be able to define a data class that could wrap this dictionary in a real object, that would allow for getting / setting.

Hi,

Yes there is such a possibility. You need to use jsonapi_requests.orm.RelationField('contact')
where contact is within Meta field:

class ConatactClass(jsonapi_requests.orm.ApiModel):
    class Meta:
        type = 'contact'
        api = api
  ...
