restxmonkey 0.6.1

Restx-Monkey

Monkey patches for unmaintained flask-restx python package to keep
your installation of flask-restx compatible with the latest flask
and werkzeug.
Good NEWS everyone! Package flask-restx is maintained now! I strongly suggest to submit issues on official project issues page.
Installation
To install restx_monkey, use pip:
python -m pip install -U restx-monkey

Usage
Before importing flask-restx apply all patches in your main module:
# app main file
import restx_monkey as monkey

monkey.patch_restx()

# after patch import other modules
import flask_restx
# your other code

or select which patches you do not want to apply
# app main file
import restx_monkey as monkey

monkey.patch_restx(fix_restx_api=False)

# after patch import other modules
import flask_restx
# your other code

What is patched?
Here is list of patches applied to flask-restx package by this monkey:

replace_parse_rule - injects parse_rule method into werkzeug because flask-restx is using this internal method
fix_restx_api - fix deprecated flask-restx.api.Api init of doc endpoints after blueprint is bound
fix_restx_parser - replace failing flask_restx.reqparse.Argument class with child whom can correctly handle json
location of argument in flask.Request even in HTTP GET callback
update_swagger_ui - replace content of flask_restx.static directory with the later swagger UI then restx < 1.0
fix_endpoint_from_view - fix flask.scaffold missing _endpoint_from_view_func
inject_versions - puts back __version__ to flask and werkzeug for 3.0+ where the version was removed

Goal of project
Keep flask-restx compatible with the
latest flask and werkzeug as long as it is
reasonable simple to monkey patch it.
What this project is not
This project does not solve incompatibilities of other python packages
using flask-restx.
