Models Pydantic Docs · docs.pydantic.dev I came accross from_attributes today it allows creation of pydantic models from objects such as a sqlalchemy Model or while nesting pydantic models. I believe in the past I have ran into some inconsistencies with nesting pydantic models and I’ll bet one had from_attributes set and another did not. Arbitrary class instances¶ (Formerly known as “ORM Mode”/from_orm). Pydantic models can also be created from arbitrary class instances by reading the instance > attributes corresponding to the model field names. One common application of this functionality is integration with object-relational mappings (ORMs). To do this, set the from_attributes config value to True (see the documentation on Configuration for more details). The example here uses SQLAlchemy, but the same approach should work for any ORM.
External Link stackoverflow.com I went down the route of leveraging the extention in htmx, but later realized that this completely breaks browsers/users who do not wish to use javascript. While most of the web would feel quite broken with javascript disabled, I don’t want to contribute to that without good reason. Taking a second look into this issue, rather than using, and using as_form to get form data into a model keeps the nice DX fo everything being a pydantic model, but the site still works without js. with js htmx kicks in, you get a spa like experience by loading partials onto the page, and without, you just get a full page reload. the implementation # copied from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60127234/how-to-use-a-pydantic-model-with-form-data-in-fastapi And the usage looks like
global Field
global BaseModel
from pydantic import BaseModel
from pydantic import Field

Pydantic is a Python library for serializing data into models that can be validated with a deep set of built in valitators or your own custom validators, and deserialize back to JSON or dictionary.

Installation #

To install pydantic you will first need python and pip. Once you have pip installed you can install pydantic with pip.

pip install pydantic

Always install in a virtual environment

Creating a Pydantic model #

To get started with pydantic you will first need to create a Pydantic model. This is a python class that inherits from pydantic.BaseModel.

from pydantic import BaseModel
from pydantic import Field
from typing import Optional

class Person(BaseModel):
    name: str = Field(...)
    age: int

parsing an object #

person = Person(name="John Doe", age=30)
print(person)
name='John Doe' age=30

data serialization #

Pydantic has some very robust serialization methods that will automatically coherse your data into the type specified by the type-hint in the model if it can.

person = Person(name=12, age="30")
print(f'name: {person.name}, type: {type(person.name)}')
print(f'age: {person.age}, type: {type(person.age)}')
1 validation error for Person
name
  Input should be a valid string [type=string_type, input_value=12, input_type=int]

person = Person(name="John Doe", age='thirty')
print(f'name: {person.name}, type: {type(person.name)}')
print(f'age: {person.age}, type: {type(person.age)}')
1 validation error for Person
age
  Input should be a valid integer, unable to parse string as an integer [type=int_parsing, input_value='thirty', input_type=str]
