Warning

It is highly recommended that you use the newer ma.SQLAlchemySchema and ma.SQLAlchemyAutoSchema classes instead of ModelSchema and TableSchema. See the release notes for marshmallow-sqlalchemy 0.22.0 for instructions on how to migrate.

If you need to use ModelSchema and TableSchema for the time being, you’ll need to import these directly from marshmallow_sqlalchemy.

from flask import Flask
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from flask_marshmallow import Marshmallow

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI"] = "sqlite:////tmp/test.db"

db = SQLAlchemy(app)
ma = Marshmallow(app)

# flask-marshmallow<0.12.0


class AuthorSchema(ma.ModelSchema):
    class Meta:
        model = Author


# flask-marshmallow>=0.12.0 (recommended)


class AuthorSchema(ma.SQLAlchemyAutoSchema):
    class Meta:
        model = Author
        load_instance = True


# flask-marshmallow>=0.12.0 (not recommended)

from marshmallow_sqlalchemy import ModelSchema


class AuthorSchema(ModelSchema):
    class Meta:
        model = Author
        sql_session = db.session
