types-smorest

What it is and what it does

types-smorest is a type stub package that provides type annotations for flask-smorest. It enables static type checkers and IDEs to understand the types and signatures available in flask-smorest, improving code quality and developer experience through better autocompletion and type checking.

The package is explicitly partial—it covers only some of the functions and objects available in flask-smorest—and is maintained by the community. It supports Python 3.7 through 3.10 and has no runtime dependencies; it is installed purely to improve the development experience of projects that use flask-smorest.

Use it for:

• Enable static type checkers to validate code that uses flask-smorest without type errors.
• Improve IDE autocompletion and inline documentation when writing flask-smorest API handlers.
• Catch type mismatches in flask-smorest configuration and decorator usage at development time.
• Document expected types for team members working on flask-smorest-based projects.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides type stubs for flask-smorest, enabling static type checking and IDE autocompletion when using the flask-smorest library.

Yes, if you use flask-smorest and want static type checking or better IDE support. The low install friction and lack of runtime dependencies make it a safe addition to any development environment. Be aware of the GPLv3 license if your project is proprietary, and note that stub coverage is partial and may lag behind flask-smorest releases.

Quickstart

# Install types-smorest
$ pip install types-smorest

# Type hints are now available for static checkers
import types_smorest

Requires Python 3.7 or later. This is a stub-only package and must be installed alongside flask-smorest itself to be useful.

Verify before relying

• How complete the stub coverage is beyond the partial coverage mentioned in the description.
• Whether the stubs are kept synchronized with current flask-smorest releases.
• What specific functions and objects in flask-smorest are covered by the stubs.
