Base64Bytes module-attribute

Base64Bytes = Annotated[
    bytes, EncodedBytes(encoder=Base64Encoder)
]

A bytes type that is encoded and decoded using the standard (non-URL-safe) base64 encoder.

Note

Under the hood, Base64Bytes use standard library base64.encodebytes and base64.decodebytes functions.

As a result, attempting to decode url-safe base64 data using the Base64Bytes type may fail or produce an incorrect decoding.

Base64Str module-attribute

Base64Str = Annotated[
    str, EncodedStr(encoder=Base64Encoder)
]

A str type that is encoded and decoded using the standard (non-URL-safe) base64 encoder.

Note

Under the hood, Base64Bytes use standard library base64.encodebytes and base64.decodebytes functions.

As a result, attempting to decode url-safe base64 data using the Base64Str type may fail or produce an incorrect decoding.

Base64UrlBytes module-attribute

Base64UrlBytes = Annotated[
    bytes, EncodedBytes(encoder=Base64UrlEncoder)
]

A bytes type that is encoded and decoded using the URL-safe base64 encoder.

Note

Under the hood, Base64UrlBytes use standard library base64.urlsafe_b64encode and base64.urlsafe_b64decode functions.

As a result, the Base64UrlBytes type can be used to faithfully decode "vanilla" base64 data (using '+' and '/').

from pydantic import Base64UrlBytes, BaseModel

class Model(BaseModel):
    base64url_bytes: Base64UrlBytes

# Initialize the model with base64 data
m = Model(base64url_bytes=b'SHc_dHc-TXc==')

#> base64url_bytes=b'Hw?tw>Mw'

Base64UrlStr module-attribute

Base64UrlStr = Annotated[
    str, EncodedStr(encoder=Base64UrlEncoder)
]

A str type that is encoded and decoded using the URL-safe base64 encoder.

Note

Under the hood, Base64UrlStr use standard library base64.urlsafe_b64encode and base64.urlsafe_b64decode functions.

As a result, the Base64UrlStr type can be used to faithfully decode "vanilla" base64 data (using '+' and '/').

from pydantic import Base64UrlStr, BaseModel

class Model(BaseModel):

print(m)
#> base64url_str='Hw?tw>Mw'

JsonValue module-attribute

JsonValue = Union[
    List["JsonValue"],
    Dict[str, "JsonValue"],
    str,
    bool,
    int,
    float,
    None,
]

A JsonValue is used to represent a value that can be serialized to JSON.

It may be one of:

• List['JsonValue']
• Dict[str, 'JsonValue']
• str
• bool
• int
• float
• None

The following example demonstrates how to use JsonValue to validate JSON data, and what kind of errors to expect when input data is not json serializable.

import json

from pydantic import BaseModel, JsonValue, ValidationError

class Model(BaseModel):
    j: JsonValue

valid_json_data = {'j': {'a': {'b': {'c': 1, 'd': [2, None]}}}}
invalid_json_data = {'j': {'a': {'b': ...}}}

print(repr(Model.model_validate(valid_json_data)))
#> Model(j={'a': {'b': {'c': 1, 'd': [2, None]}}})
print(repr(Model.model_validate_json(json.dumps(valid_json_data))))
#> Model(j={'a': {'b': {'c': 1, 'd': [2, None]}}})

try:
    Model.model_validate(invalid_json_data)
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    1 validation error for Model
    j.dict.a.dict.b
      input was not a valid JSON value [type=invalid-json-value, input_value=Ellipsis, input_type=ellipsis]
    '''

OnErrorOmit module-attribute

OnErrorOmit = Annotated[T, _OnErrorOmit]

When used as an item in a list, the key type in a dict, optional values of a TypedDict, etc. this annotation omits the item from the iteration if there is any error validating it. That is, instead of a ValidationError being propagated up and the entire iterable being discarded any invalid items are discarded and the valid ones are returned.

Strict dataclass

Bases: PydanticMetadata, BaseMetadata

Usage Documentation

Strict mode with Annotated[..., Strict()]

A field metadata class to indicate that a field should be validated in strict mode.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
strict	bool	Whether to validate the field in strict mode.

Example

from typing_extensions import Annotated

from pydantic.types import Strict

StrictBool = Annotated[bool, Strict()]

AllowInfNan dataclass

Bases: PydanticMetadata

A field metadata class to indicate that a field should allow -inf, inf, and nan.

StringConstraints dataclass

Bases: GroupedMetadata

Usage Documentation

String Constraints

Apply constraints to str types.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
strip_whitespace	bool | None	Whether to strip whitespace from the string.
to_upper	bool | None	Whether to convert the string to uppercase.
to_lower	bool | None	Whether to convert the string to lowercase.
strict	bool | None	Whether to validate the string in strict mode.
min_length	int | None	The minimum length of the string.
max_length	int | None	The maximum length of the string.
pattern	str | None	A regex pattern that the string must match.

ImportString

A type that can be used to import a type from a string.

ImportString expects a string and loads the Python object importable at that dotted path. Attributes of modules may be separated from the module by : or ., e.g. if 'math:cos' was provided, the resulting field value would be the functioncos. If a . is used and both an attribute and submodule are present at the same path, the module will be preferred.

On model instantiation, pointers will be evaluated and imported. There is some nuance to this behavior, demonstrated in the examples below.

Good behavior:

from math import cos

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, ImportString, ValidationError


class ImportThings(BaseModel):
    obj: ImportString


# A string value will cause an automatic import
my_cos = ImportThings(obj='math.cos')

# You can use the imported function as you would expect
cos_of_0 = my_cos.obj(0)
assert cos_of_0 == 1


# A string whose value cannot be imported will raise an error
try:
    ImportThings(obj='foo.bar')
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    1 validation error for ImportThings
    obj
    Invalid python path: No module named 'foo.bar' [type=import_error, input_value='foo.bar', input_type=str]
    '''


# Actual python objects can be assigned as well
my_cos = ImportThings(obj=cos)
my_cos_2 = ImportThings(obj='math.cos')
my_cos_3 = ImportThings(obj='math:cos')
assert my_cos == my_cos_2 == my_cos_3


# You can set default field value either as Python object:
class ImportThingsDefaultPyObj(BaseModel):
    obj: ImportString = math.cos


# or as a string value (but only if used with `validate_default=True`)
class ImportThingsDefaultString(BaseModel):
    obj: ImportString = Field(default='math.cos', validate_default=True)


my_cos_default1 = ImportThingsDefaultPyObj()
my_cos_default2 = ImportThingsDefaultString()
assert my_cos_default1.obj == my_cos_default2.obj == math.cos


# note: this will not work!
class ImportThingsMissingValidateDefault(BaseModel):
    obj: ImportString = 'math.cos'

my_cos_default3 = ImportThingsMissingValidateDefault()
assert my_cos_default3.obj == 'math.cos'  # just string, not evaluated

Serializing an ImportString type to json is also possible.

from pydantic import BaseModel, ImportString


class ImportThings(BaseModel):
    obj: ImportString


# Create an instance
m = ImportThings(obj='math.cos')
print(m)
#> obj=<built-in function cos>
print(m.model_dump_json())
#> {"obj":"math.cos"}

UuidVersion dataclass

A field metadata class to indicate a UUID version.

Json

A special type wrapper which loads JSON before parsing.

You can use the Json data type to make Pydantic first load a raw JSON string before validating the loaded data into the parametrized type:

from typing import Any, List

from pydantic import BaseModel, Json, ValidationError


class AnyJsonModel(BaseModel):
    json_obj: Json[Any]


class ConstrainedJsonModel(BaseModel):
    json_obj: Json[List[int]]


print(AnyJsonModel(json_obj='{"b": 1}'))
#> json_obj={'b': 1}
print(ConstrainedJsonModel(json_obj='[1, 2, 3]'))
#> json_obj=[1, 2, 3]

try:
    ConstrainedJsonModel(json_obj=12)
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    1 validation error for ConstrainedJsonModel
    json_obj
    JSON input should be string, bytes or bytearray [type=json_type, input_value=12, input_type=int]
    '''

try:
    ConstrainedJsonModel(json_obj='[a, b]')
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    1 validation error for ConstrainedJsonModel
    json_obj
    Invalid JSON: expected value at line 1 column 2 [type=json_invalid, input_value='[a, b]', input_type=str]
    '''

try:
    ConstrainedJsonModel(json_obj='["a", "b"]')
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    2 validation errors for ConstrainedJsonModel
    json_obj.0
    Input should be a valid integer, unable to parse string as an integer [type=int_parsing, input_value='a', input_type=str]
    json_obj.1
    Input should be a valid integer, unable to parse string as an integer [type=int_parsing, input_value='b', input_type=str]
    '''

When you dump the model using model_dump or model_dump_json, the dumped value will be the result of validation, not the original JSON string. However, you can use the argument round_trip=True to get the original JSON string back:

from typing import List

from pydantic import BaseModel, Json


class ConstrainedJsonModel(BaseModel):
    json_obj: Json[List[int]]


print(ConstrainedJsonModel(json_obj='[1, 2, 3]').model_dump_json())
#> {"json_obj":[1,2,3]}
print(
    ConstrainedJsonModel(json_obj='[1, 2, 3]').model_dump_json(round_trip=True)
)
#> {"json_obj":"[1,2,3]"}

SecretStr

SecretStr(secret_value)

Bases: _SecretField[str]

A string used for storing sensitive information that you do not want to be visible in logging or tracebacks.

When the secret value is nonempty, it is displayed as '**********' instead of the underlying value in calls to repr() and str(). If the value is empty, it is displayed as ''.

from pydantic import BaseModel, SecretStr

class User(BaseModel):
    username: str
    password: SecretStr

user = User(username='scolvin', password='password1')

ByteSize

Bases: int

Converts a string representing a number of bytes with units (such as '1KB' or '11.5MiB') into an integer.

You can use the ByteSize data type to (case-insensitively) convert a string representation of a number of bytes into an integer, and also to print out human-readable strings representing a number of bytes.

In conformance with IEC 80000-13 Standard we interpret '1KB' to mean 1000 bytes, and '1KiB' to mean 1024 bytes. In general, including a middle 'i' will cause the unit to be interpreted as a power of 2, rather than a power of 10 (so, for example, '1 MB' is treated as 1_000_000 bytes, whereas '1 MiB' is treated as 1_048_576 bytes).

Info

Note that 1b will be parsed as "1 byte" and not "1 bit".

GetPydanticSchema dataclass

Usage Documentation

Using GetPydanticSchema to reduce boilerplate

A convenience class for creating an annotation that provides pydantic custom type hooks.

This class is intended to eliminate the need to create a custom "marker" which defines the __get_pydantic_core_schema__ and __get_pydantic_json_schema__ custom hook methods.

For example, to have a field treated by type checkers as int, but by pydantic as Any, you can do:

from typing import Any

from typing_extensions import Annotated

from pydantic import BaseModel, GetPydanticSchema

HandleAsAny = GetPydanticSchema(lambda _s, h: h(Any))

class Model(BaseModel):
    x: Annotated[int, HandleAsAny]  # pydantic sees `x: Any`

print(repr(Model(x='abc').x))
#> 'abc'

Tag dataclass

Provides a way to specify the expected tag to use for a case of a (callable) discriminated union.

Also provides a way to label a union case in error messages.

When using a callable Discriminator, attach a Tag to each case in the Union to specify the tag that should be used to identify that case. For example, in the below example, the Tag is used to specify that if get_discriminator_value returns 'apple', the input should be validated as an ApplePie, and if it returns 'pumpkin', the input should be validated as a PumpkinPie.

The primary role of the Tag here is to map the return value from the callable Discriminator function to the appropriate member of the Union in question.

from typing import Any, Union

from typing_extensions import Annotated, Literal

from pydantic import BaseModel, Discriminator, Tag

class Pie(BaseModel):
    time_to_cook: int
    num_ingredients: int

class ApplePie(Pie):
    fruit: Literal['apple'] = 'apple'

class PumpkinPie(Pie):
    filling: Literal['pumpkin'] = 'pumpkin'

def get_discriminator_value(v: Any) -> str:
    if isinstance(v, dict):
        return v.get('fruit', v.get('filling'))
    return getattr(v, 'fruit', getattr(v, 'filling', None))

class ThanksgivingDinner(BaseModel):
    dessert: Annotated[
        Union[
            Annotated[ApplePie, Tag('apple')],
            Annotated[PumpkinPie, Tag('pumpkin')],
        ],
        Discriminator(get_discriminator_value),
    ]

apple_variation = ThanksgivingDinner.model_validate(
    {'dessert': {'fruit': 'apple', 'time_to_cook': 60, 'num_ingredients': 8}}
)
print(repr(apple_variation))
'''
ThanksgivingDinner(dessert=ApplePie(time_to_cook=60, num_ingredients=8, fruit='apple'))
'''

pumpkin_variation = ThanksgivingDinner.model_validate(
    {
        'dessert': {
            'filling': 'pumpkin',
            'time_to_cook': 40,
            'num_ingredients': 6,
        }
    }
)
print(repr(pumpkin_variation))
'''
ThanksgivingDinner(dessert=PumpkinPie(time_to_cook=40, num_ingredients=6, filling='pumpkin'))
'''

Note

You must specify a Tag for every case in a Tag that is associated with a callable Discriminator. Failing to do so will result in a PydanticUserError with code callable-discriminator-no-tag.

See the Discriminated Unions concepts docs for more details on how to use Tags.

Discriminator dataclass

Usage Documentation

Discriminated Unions with callable Discriminator

Provides a way to use a custom callable as the way to extract the value of a union discriminator.

This allows you to get validation behavior like you'd get from Field(discriminator=<field_name>), but without needing to have a single shared field across all the union choices. This also makes it possible to handle unions of models and primitive types with discriminated-union-style validation errors. Finally, this allows you to use a custom callable as the way to identify which member of a union a value belongs to, while still seeing all the performance benefits of a discriminated union.

Consider this example, which is much more performant with the use of Discriminator and thus a TaggedUnion than it would be as a normal Union.

    !!! warning "Discouraged"
        This function is **discouraged** in favor of using
        [`Annotated`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Annotated) with
        [`Field`][pydantic.fields.Field] instead.

        This function will be **deprecated** in Pydantic 3.0.

        The reason is that `condecimal` returns a type, which doesn't play well with static analysis tools.
