MethodViewType was removed for Flask 2.2.x

[nbrinckm]

I'm not exactly aware, where to point to in the changelogs, but in an pull request from June they removed the MethodViewType class: https://github.com/pallets/flask/pull/4624

So the import of this class in https://github.com/miLibris/flask-rest-jsonapi/blob/master/flask_rest_jsonapi/resource.py#L12 will not work.

Are there any plans to make the flask-rest-jsonapi ready for usage in Flask 2.2 ?

I tested with the latest flask version (2.2.2).

You can amend resource.py. replace MethodViewType with type(MethodView)

Why hasn't the maintainer responded to this?

Seems it is still broken. This repo should probably get marked as archived.
