How to validate schema of list of dicts in python?-CodePudding

I have a dictionary with config info:

“request”:
    {
        “request_id”: uuid,
        "points": {
            "<point_id>": {"weight": float},
        }
    }

For example

"request":{
     "request_id": "553380e1-fa37-4666-886e-7f56c0540ed8",
     "points": {
          "0": {
             "weight": 5
          },
          "1": {
             "weight":10
          }
     }
}

It should be like this?

"request": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "request_id": {
            "type": "string",
        },
        "points":{
             "type": "array",
             "items": {
                ????
             }
        }
    }

I am not able to find the validation schema in my flask project. Is there any solution for this?

CodePudding user response：

points is an object, not an integer. You can specify variable property names with a regular expression in patternProperties, or if the property names can be anything, use additionalProperties to constrain the values.

...
"points": {
  "patternProperties": {
    "^[0-9] $": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "weight": {
          "type": "integer"
        }
      },
      "additionalProperties": false
    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}
