flask_restful_dbbase.resources.DBBaseResource.screen_data

DBBaseResource.screen_data(data, obj_params, skip_missing_data=False)

Assumes data is deserialized

This function screens data from a few parameters, missing data, unneeded fields in data, excessive string lengths, improper numbers.

Note that this function does not exhaustively determine the problem. It ends on first failure.

Parameters:

• data – (dict) : incoming data

• obj_params – (dict) : table parameters

• skip_missing_data – (bool) : Flag to check for all for record

Returns:

status – (bool) : True, Successful screening msg : (None : dict) : description of the problem

Each test for bad data outputs a status of True, None for each successful test. Unsuccessful tests add the problem to an error list to be returned at the end. That way, there is a relatively complete list of the problems encountered.
