Requirements: Python 3.7+, Django 2.2+
Pydantic model support for Django.
This project should be considered a work-in-progress. It should be okay to use, but no specific version support has been determined (#16) and the default model generation behaviour may change across releases.
Please use the issues tracker to report any bugs, or if something seems incorrect.
Quickstart
Install using pip:
pip install djantic
Generating schemas from models
Configure a custom ModelSchema
class for a Django model to generate a Pydantic model. This will allow using the Django model information with Pydantic model methods:
from users.models import User
from djantic import ModelSchema
class UserSchema(ModelSchema):
class Config:
model = User
print(UserSchema.schema())
Output:
{
"title": "UserSchema",
"description": "A user of the application.",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"profile": {"title": "Profile", "description": "None", "type": "integer"},
"id": {"title": "Id", "description": "id", "type": "integer"},
"first_name": {
"title": "First Name",
"description": "first_name",
"maxLength": 50,
"type": "string",
},
"last_name": {
"title": "Last Name",
"description": "last_name",
"maxLength": 50,
"type": "string",
},
"email": {
"title": "Email",
"description": "email",
"maxLength": 254,
"type": "string",
},
"created_at": {
"title": "Created At",
"description": "created_at",
"type": "string",
"format": "date-time",
},
"updated_at": {
"title": "Updated At",
"description": "updated_at",
"type": "string",
"format": "date-time",
},
},
"required": ["first_name", "email", "created_at", "updated_at"],
}

Loading and exporting model data
Use the from_django
method on a model schema class to load a Django model instance into a schema class:
user = User.objects.create(
first_name="Jordan",
last_name="Eremieff",
email="[email protected]"
)
user_schema = UserSchema.from_django(user)
print(user_schema.json(indent=2))
Output:
{
"profile": null,
"id": 1,
"first_name": "Jordan",
"last_name": "Eremieff",
"email": "[email protected]",
"created_at": "2020-08-15T16:50:30.606345+00:00",
"updated_at": "2020-08-15T16:50:30.606452+00:00"
}
