Is marshmallow compatible with SQLAlchemy imperative (aka classical) mapping ?

[evoludigit]

Hello,

I am building my first api, from a quite complex model (45+ domain objects) - and I would to know if marshmallow could fit my need as I have not found the answer elsewhere.

I use SQL Alchemy with an imperative mapping style: domain objects are defined in domain/model.py while tables are defined in adapters/orm.py.

Each domain object class is then explicitly mapped to its corresponding table.

All the examples I have seen use SQLAlchemy declarative mapping.

Is it possible to use marshmallow, especially the SQLAlchemyAutoSchema, with SQLAlchemy imperative mapping ?

thanks a lot for your help.

i don't have much experience with the imperitive mapping style. you could try passing you model classes as the model for SQLAlchemySchema. if anyone attempts this, please report back!
