Python Flask RestPlus Enum Type

Am using python 3.4. I have created an enum type as shown below:

import enum
class EnumGender(enum.Enum):
    blank = ' '
    female = 'Female'
    male = 'Male'
    other = 'Other'

my question is how do i assign it to flask-restplus field as the only examples i can see are:

fields.String(description='The object type', enum=['A', 'B'])

Solution

  • You can assign the member names to it:

    fields.String(description='The object type', enum=EnumGender._member_names_)
