When using the marshmallow plugin, ensure a compatible marshmallow version is used: ::

    $ pip install -U apispec[marshmallow]

Example Application
===================

.. code-block:: python

    from apispec import APISpec
    from apispec.ext.marshmallow import MarshmallowPlugin
    from apispec_webframeworks.flask import FlaskPlugin
    from flask import Flask

        plugins=[FlaskPlugin(), MarshmallowPlugin()],
    )


    # Optional marshmallow support
    class CategorySchema(Schema):
        id = fields.Int()
        name = fields.Str(required=True)


    class PetSchema(Schema):
        category = fields.List(fields.Nested(CategorySchema))
        name = fields.Str()


    # Optional security scheme support
    api_key_scheme = {"type": "apiKey", "in": "header", "name": "X-API-Key"}
    spec.components.security_scheme("ApiKeyAuth", api_key_scheme)


    # Optional Flask support
    app = Flask(__name__)


    @app.route("/random")
    def random_pet():
        """A cute furry animal endpoint.

        pet = get_random_pet()
        return PetSchema().dump(pet)


    # Register the path and the entities within it
    with app.test_request_context():
