pydantic_core.core_schema

This module contains definitions to build schemas which pydantic_core can validate and serialize.

WhenUsed module-attribute

WhenUsed = Literal[
    "always", "unless-none", "json", "json-unless-none"
]

Values have the following meanings:

• 'always' means always use
• 'unless-none' means use unless the value is None
• 'json' means use when serializing to JSON
• 'json-unless-none' means use when serializing to JSON and the value is not None

CoreConfig

Bases: TypedDict

Base class for schema configuration options.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
title	str	The name of the configuration.
strict	bool	Whether the configuration should strictly adhere to specified rules.
extra_fields_behavior	ExtraBehavior	The behavior for handling extra fields.
typed_dict_total	bool	Whether the TypedDict should be considered total. Default is True.
from_attributes	bool	Whether to use attributes for models, dataclasses, and tagged union keys.
loc_by_alias	bool	Whether to use the used alias (or first alias for "field required" errors) instead of field_names to construct error locs. Default is True.
revalidate_instances	Literal['always', 'never', 'subclass-instances']	Whether instances of models and dataclasses should re-validate. Default is 'never'.
validate_default	bool	Whether to validate default values during validation. Default is False.
populate_by_name	bool	Whether an aliased field may be populated by its name as given by the model attribute, as well as the alias. (Replaces 'allow_population_by_field_name' in Pydantic v1.) Default is False.
str_max_length	int	The maximum length for string fields.
str_min_length	int	The minimum length for string fields.
str_strip_whitespace	bool	Whether to strip whitespace from string fields.
str_to_lower	bool	Whether to convert string fields to lowercase.
str_to_upper	bool	Whether to convert string fields to uppercase.
allow_inf_nan	bool	Whether to allow infinity and NaN values for float fields. Default is True.
ser_json_timedelta	Literal['iso8601', 'float']	The serialization option for timedelta values. Default is 'iso8601'.
ser_json_bytes	Literal['utf8', 'base64']	The serialization option for bytes values. Default is 'utf8'.
hide_input_in_errors	bool	Whether to hide input data from ValidationError representation.
