Description
Generated the client from: https://editor.swagger.io/#
API call return the Generated pydantic object with missing fields as Nones instead of not return them at all.
Basically this is because how the deserialization works:
Result before deserialization:
{
"nextMarker": "123",
"results": [{
"id": "345",
"key": "678",
"created": "2021-05-24T07:39:53.245Z",
"updated": "2021-07-08T11:20:17.768Z",
"type": "type",
"status": "status",
"priority": "priority",
"group": "group"
}
]
}
Result after deserialization:
{
'next_marker': '123',
'results': [{
'company': None,
'created': datetime.datetime(2021, 5, 24, 7, 39, 53, 245000, tzinfo = tzlocal()),
'description': None,
'external_ids': None,
'group': 'group',
'id': '345',
'key': '678',
'name': None,
'pending_for_group': None,
'priority': 'priority',
'redirection_reason': None,
'status': 'status',
'tags': None,
'type': 'type',
'updated': datetime.datetime(2021, 7, 8, 11, 20, 17, 768000, tzinfo = tzlocal())
}
]
}
The pydantic object:
class Results(BaseModel):
class Config:
allow_population_by_field_name = True
next_marker: Optional[str] = Field(
None,
alias="",
description="description",
)
results: List["Res"]
class Res(BaseModel):
class Config:
allow_population_by_field_name = True
company: Optional[str] = Field(
None,
description="",
example="",
)
created: datetime = Field(..., description="")
description: Optional[str] = Field(
None,
description='',
example="",
)
external_ids: Optional[List["ExId"]] = Field(
None,
alias="",
description="",
)
group: Optional[str] = Field(
None,
description="",
example="",
)
id: str = Field(
..., description=""
)
key: str = Field(
...,
description="",
example="",
)
name: Optional[str] = Field(
None,
description='',
example="",
)
pending_for_group: Optional[str] = Field(
None,
alias="",
description="",
)
priority: str = Field(
..., description="", example=""
)
redirection_reason: Optional[str] = Field(
None,
alias="",
description="",
)
status: str = Field(..., description="", example="")
tags: Optional[List[constr(regex=r"^\S*$")]] = Field(
None,
description="",
example=[],
)
type: str = Field(..., description="", example="")
updated: datetime = Field(
..., description=""
)
Is there any way to not get the extra Generated pydantic fields (because they are not present in the actual API response)?
(They are marked as Optional in Type hints.)
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No repository file or test is named. Reproduce the generated Python client from the Swagger Editor example, then inspect the Pydantic model generation and deserialization behavior for optional fields. Done means optional fields absent from the API response are not added as None, with the behavior verified against the shown response.
