newmindsgroup Pydantic Models
Create Pydantic models following the multi-model pattern for clean API contracts.
Quick Start
Copy the template from assets/template.py and replace placeholders:
{{ResourceName}}→ PascalCase name (e.g.,Project){{resource_name}}→ snake_case name (e.g.,project)
Multi-Model Pattern
| Model | Purpose |
|---|---|
Base |
Common fields shared across models |
Create |
Request body for creation (required fields) |
Update |
Request body for updates (all optional) |
Response |
API response with all fields |
InDB |
Database document with doc_type |
camelCase Aliases
class MyModel(BaseModel):
workspace_id: str = Field(..., alias="workspaceId")
created_at: datetime = Field(..., alias="createdAt")
class Config:
populate_by_name = True # Accept both snake_case and camelCase
Optional Update Fields
class MyUpdate(BaseModel):
"""All fields optional for PATCH requests."""
name: Optional[str] = Field(None, min_length=1)
description: Optional[str] = None
Database Document
class MyInDB(MyResponse):
"""Adds doc_type for Cosmos DB queries."""
doc_type: str = "my_resource"
