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

Summary

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.

Python


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

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
