Pydantic Models for Collections
Hey, how do I create pydantic models for collections when $id is a field, because I can't use $id as a var name and Pydantic seems overly complex on trying to get it to work
TL;DR
The user is asking for help on creating Pydantic models for collections when the field name is `$id`. They tried using field aliases but encountered an issue. A suggestion was made to check the Pydantic documentation on field aliases. However, someone pointed out that the problem is actually not related to Appwrite and suggested seeking help on a Pydantic forum. The user provided their code snippet as an example. No solution was provided in the thread.TypeScript
class Standard(BaseModel):
id: str
standardCode: str
standardText: str
topics: List[str]
objectives: List[str]
class Config:
fields = { 'id': '$id' }
valid_data = Standard(data).dict(by_alias=True)
Sounds fine but this isn't really an Appwrite question. Maybe a pydantic forum might be more helpful
well
the problem is the id's are stored as $id
And?
Maybe you can look at field aliases: https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/usage/fields/#field-aliases
I did that, it then complained that id wasn't being set or something, we messed with it for 30-45 minutes before giving up and ust removing the ID
I was posting here hoping someone had tried to use a JSON Serializable class with their database fields because.. that's how it should be done
