default_error_messages = {'format': '"{input}" cannot be formatted as a date.', 'invalid': 'Not a valid date.'}¶: Default error messages.

class marshmallow.fields.DateTime(format: Optional[str] = None, **kwargs)[source]¶

A formatted datetime string.

Example: '2014-12-22T03:12:58.019077+00:00'

Parameters

format – Either "rfc" (for RFC822), "iso" (for ISO8601), or a date format string. If None, defaults to “iso”.
kwargs – The same keyword arguments that Field receives.

Changed in version 3.0.0rc9: Does not modify timezone information on (de)serialization.

Methods:

`_bind_to_schema`(field_name, schema)	Update field with values from its parent schema.
`_deserialize`(value, attr, data, **kwargs)	Deserialize value.
`_serialize`(value, attr, obj, **kwargs)	Serializes `value` to a basic Python datatype.

Attributes:

Default error messages.

_bind_to_schema(field_name, schema)[source]¶

Update field with values from its parent schema. Called by Schema._bind_field.

Parameters

field_name (str) – Field name set in schema.
schema (Schema|Field) – Parent object.

_deserialize(value, attr, data, **kwargs)[source]¶

Deserialize value. Concrete Field classes should implement this method.

Parameters

value – The value to be deserialized.
attr – The attribute/key in data to be deserialized.
data – The raw input data passed to the Schema.load.
kwargs – Field-specific keyword arguments.

Raises

ValidationError – In case of formatting or validation failure.

Returns

The deserialized value.

Changed in version 2.0.0: Added attr and data parameters.

Changed in version 3.0.0: Added **kwargs to signature.

_serialize(value, attr, obj, **kwargs)[source]¶

Serializes value to a basic Python datatype. Noop by default. Concrete Field classes should implement this method.

Example:

class TitleCase(Field):
    def _serialize(self, value, attr, obj, **kwargs):
        if not value:
            return ''
        return str(value).title()

Parameters

value – The value to be serialized.
attr (str) – The attribute or key on the object to be serialized.
obj (object) – The object the value was pulled from.
kwargs (dict) – Field-specific keyword arguments.

Returns

The serialized value

default_error_messages = {'format': '"{input}" cannot be formatted as a {obj_type}.', 'invalid': 'Not a valid {obj_type}.', 'invalid_awareness': 'Not a valid {awareness} {obj_type}.'}¶: Default error messages.

class marshmallow.fields.Decimal(places: Optional[int] = None, rounding: Optional[str] = None, *, allow_nan: bool = False, as_string: bool = False, **kwargs)[source]¶

A field that (de)serializes to the Python decimal.Decimal type. It’s safe to use when dealing with money values, percentages, ratios or other numbers where precision is critical.

Warning

This field serializes to a decimal.Decimal object by default. If you need to render your data as JSON, keep in mind that the json module from the standard library does not encode decimal.Decimal. Therefore, you must use a JSON library that can handle decimals, such as simplejson, or serialize to a string by passing as_string=True.

Warning

If a JSON float value is passed to this field for deserialization it will first be cast to its corresponding string value before being deserialized to a decimal.Decimal object. The default __str__ implementation of the built-in Python float type may apply a destructive transformation upon its input data and therefore cannot be relied upon to preserve precision. To avoid this, you can instead pass a JSON string to be deserialized directly.

Parameters

places – How many decimal places to quantize the value. If None, does not quantize the value.
rounding – How to round the value during quantize, for example decimal.ROUND_UP. If None, uses the rounding value from the current thread’s context.
allow_nan – If True, NaN, Infinity and -Infinity are allowed, even though they are illegal according to the JSON specification.
as_string – If True, serialize to a string instead of a Python decimal.Decimal type.
kwargs – The same keyword arguments that Number receives.

New in version 1.2.0.

default_error_messages = {'invalid': 'Not a valid email address.'}¶: Default error messages.

class marshmallow.fields.Field(*, default: Any = <marshmallow.missing>, missing: Any = <marshmallow.missing>, data_key: Optional[str] = None, attribute: Optional[str] = None, validate: Optional[Union[Callable[[Any], Any], Iterable[Callable[[Any], Any]]]] = None, required: bool = False, allow_none: Optional[bool] = None, load_only: bool = False, dump_only: bool = False, error_messages: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Mapping[str, Any]] = None, **additional_metadata)[source]¶

Basic field from which other fields should extend. It applies no formatting by default, and should only be used in cases where data does not need to be formatted before being serialized or deserialized. On error, the name of the field will be returned.

Parameters

default – If set, this value will be used during serialization if the input value is missing. If not set, the field will be excluded from the serialized output if the input value is missing. May be a value or a callable.
missing – Default deserialization value for the field if the field is not found in the input data. May be a value or a callable.
data_key – The name of the dict key in the external representation, i.e. the input of load and the output of dump. If None, the key will match the name of the field.
attribute – The name of the attribute to get the value from when serializing. If None, assumes the attribute has the same name as the field. Note: This should only be used for very specific use cases such as outputting multiple fields for a single attribute. In most cases, you should use data_key instead.
validate – Validator or collection of validators that are called during deserialization. Validator takes a field’s input value as its only parameter and returns a boolean. If it returns False, an ValidationError is raised.
required – Raise a ValidationError if the field value is not supplied during deserialization.
allow_none – Set this to True if None should be considered a valid value during validation/deserialization. If missing=None and allow_none is unset, will default to True. Otherwise, the default is False.
load_only – If True skip this field during serialization, otherwise its value will be present in the serialized data.
dump_only – If True skip this field during deserialization, otherwise its value will be present in the deserialized object. In the context of an HTTP API, this effectively marks the field as “read-only”.
error_messages (dict) – Overrides for Field.default_error_messages.
metadata – Extra information to be stored as field metadata.

Changed in version 2.0.0: Removed error parameter. Use error_messages instead.

Changed in version 2.0.0: Added allow_none parameter, which makes validation/deserialization of None consistent across fields.

Changed in version 2.0.0: Added load_only and dump_only parameters, which allow field skipping during the (de)serialization process.

Changed in version 2.0.0: Added missing parameter, which indicates the value for a field if the field is not found during deserialization.

Changed in version 2.0.0: default value is only used if explicitly set. Otherwise, missing values inputs are excluded from serialized output.

Changed in version 3.0.0b8: Add data_key parameter for the specifying the key in the input and output data. This parameter replaced both load_from and dump_to.

Allows you to nest a Schema inside a field.

Examples:

class ChildSchema(Schema):
    id = fields.Str()
    name = fields.Str()
    # Use lambda functions when you need two-way nesting or self-nesting
    parent = fields.Nested(lambda: ParentSchema(only=("id",)), dump_only=True)
    siblings = fields.List(fields.Nested(lambda: ChildSchema(only=("id", "name"))))

class ParentSchema(Schema):
    id = fields.Str()
    children = fields.List(
        fields.Nested(ChildSchema(only=("id", "parent", "siblings")))
    )
    spouse = fields.Nested(lambda: ParentSchema(only=("id",)))

When passing a Schema instance as the first argument, the instance’s exclude, only, and many attributes will be respected.

Therefore, when passing the exclude, only, or many arguments to fields.Nested, you should pass a Schema class (not an instance) as the first argument.

# Yes
author = fields.Nested(UserSchema, only=('id', 'name'))

# No
author = fields.Nested(UserSchema(), only=('id', 'name'))

Parameters

nested – Schema instance, class, class name (string), or callable that returns a Schema instance.
exclude – A list or tuple of fields to exclude.
only – A list or tuple of fields to marshal. If None, all fields are marshalled. This parameter takes precedence over exclude.
many – Whether the field is a collection of objects.
unknown – Whether to exclude, include, or raise an error for unknown fields in the data. Use EXCLUDE, INCLUDE or RAISE.
