Functions

def extract_json(item_or_items: Union[JsonObject, Sequence[JsonObject]], *format_args) ‑> Union[Dict[Any, Any], List[Dict[Any, Any]]]

Given a sequence (or single item), attempt to call the to_dict() method on each item and return a plain list. If item is not the expected type, return it unmodified, in case it's already a plain dict or some other user created class.

Args

item_or_items: item(s) to go through
format_args: Any formatting specifiers to pass into the object's to_dict method

def show_unknown_key_warning(name: Union[str, object], others: dict)

Subclasses

class EnumValidator (attribute: str, enum: Iterable[str])

Decorate a method on a class to mark it as a JSON validator. Validation functions should return true if valid, false if not.

Args

message: Message to be attached to the thrown SlackObjectFormationError
