[BUG] Date validation

[paulgirard]

Describe the bug Can't validate a response whose pydantic validation model contains a date.

To Reproduce

• Add a model with a date:

  class HistoryDate(BaseModel):
  date: date

• use it in a GET route

  import datetime
  @app.route("/api/date_naive_not_working", methods=["GET"])
  @api.validate(resp=Response(HTTP_200=HistoryDate))
  def not_working_date_naive():
  historyDate = HistoryDate(date=datetime.date.today())
  # will throw not serializable cause flask default encoders are used
  return jsonify(historyDate)

• use the route => 500

  resp = client.get(
      "/api/date_naive_not_working"
  )
  assert resp.status_code == 500

Expected behavior The response is valid and should be validated.

Error Message The pydantic model is not JSON serializable

Additional context

I am quite new in the pydantic world. Very pleased so far and thank you for this great addition which completely meets my need.

I turned around this as I had the impression to take the lib the wrong way. Turns out the only workaround, I found is:

@app.route("/api/date_cumbersome", methods=["GET"])
@api.validate(resp=Response(HTTP_200=HistoryDate))
def working_date_validation_cumbersome():
    historyDate = HistoryDate(date=API_DATE_TODAY)
    return jsonify(json.loads(historyDate.json()))

It's actually a pydantic issue in some ways. There is no other ways (yet) to get a json ready dict (https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/951#issuecomment-552463606) to feed the Flask serializer with.

Nevertheless to stumble upon this is quite confusing and frustrating. I propose a way that does not change anything to this lib but avoid this frustration: allow to pass by flask jsonify method to use pydantic json method instead. I am not very happy with this but let's consider it as a starter for discussion.

I am submitting a PR to expose the problem and my modest proposition. The PR will have tests which will expose the issue and the workaround of serializing/deserializing.
