Timezone Name

Time zone name validation and serialization module.

TimeZoneName

Bases: str

TimeZoneName is a custom string subclass for validating and serializing timezone names.

The TimeZoneName class uses the IANA Time Zone Database for validation. It supports both strict and non-strict modes for timezone name validation.

Examples:

Some examples of using the TimeZoneName class:

Normal usage:

from pydantic_extra_types.timezone_name import TimeZoneName
from pydantic import BaseModel
class Location(BaseModel):
    city: str
    timezone: TimeZoneName

loc = Location(city="New York", timezone="America/New_York")
print(loc.timezone)

>> America/New_York

Non-strict mode:

from pydantic_extra_types.timezone_name import TimeZoneName, timezone_name_settings

@timezone_name_settings(strict=False)
class TZNonStrict(TimeZoneName):
    pass

tz = TZNonStrict("america/new_york")

print(tz)

>> america/new_york
