from flask import Blueprint
from flask.ext.restful import Resource, Api, reqparse, marshal_with, fields
import models
user_fields = {
'username': fields.String
}
class UserList(Resource):
def __init__(self):
self.reqparse = reqparse.RequestParser()
self.reqparse.add_argument(
'username',
required=True,
location=['form', 'json']
)
self.reqparse = reqparse.RequestParser()
self.reqparse.add_argument(
'password',
required=True,
location=['form', 'json']
)
self.reqparse = reqparse.RequestParser()
self.reqparse.add_argument(
'confirm_password',
required=True,
location=['form', 'json']
)
super().__init__()
@marshal_with(user_fields)
def post(self):
args = self.reqparse.parse_args()
user = models.User.create(**args)
return user, 201
users_api = Blueprint('resources.users', __name__)
api = Api(users_api)
api.add_resource(UserList, '/api/v1/users')

20,315 PointsYou can do this! Remember the args
is a dictionary, you can access information with a key like so:
args['password']
What you need to do is determine IF the password
and confirm_password
are the same, if they are, you can create a user, if not you just need to
raise Exception
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions fire them over

19,791 PointsThere were two extra lines with
self.reqparse = reqparse.RequestParser()
Removing the second two instances of it resolves the issue you are having.
