Document Resource.representations

[nharraud]

After digging in fask-restful code I found Resource.representations which does exactly what I want, i.e: having different representations per resource. This is really a great feature but I couldn't find any reference to it in the documentation.
Is it because this is not officially supported and might be removed or is it just missing in the doc?

I am currently using Flask-RESTful (0.3.4) from Pypi and I searched this documentation: http://flask-restful-cn.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

I think this is what you were looking for:

http://flask-restful.readthedocs.org/en/0.3.4/api.html#flask_restful.Api.representation
http://flask-restful.readthedocs.org/en/0.3.4/extending.html#content-negotiation

Whoops, thats not what you were talking about. Is this the undocumented feature?

[nharraud]

No, this one is documented here: http://flask-restful-cn.readthedocs.org/en/latest/extending.html#response-formats. I'm talking about this one: https://github.com/flask-restful/flask-restful/blob/master/flask_restful/__init__.py#L565

That's documented a little further down that same page: http://flask-restful-cn.readthedocs.org/en/latest/extending.html#resource-method-decorators

@justanr Sorry I must have selected the wrong line. I meant the line just above:

flask-restful/flask_restful/__init__.py

Line 564 in a191b28

representations = None

i.e: Resource.representations
