A dataclass model toolkit: serialization, validation, and more.
[Documentation][docs]
## Features
- Model definitions in pure Python.
- Validation showing up in code coverage.
- Type annotations for all public-facing APIs.
- (Optionally) ensures immutability.
- Easily extensible.
- Made for people.
- Documented rigorously.
## Basics
### Installation
Available from [PyPI][pypi]:
```shell
pip install serious
```
### Quick Example
Central part of Serious API are different [Models][doc-models].
Given a regular dataclass:
```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class Person:
name: str
```
Let’s create a `JsonModel`:
```python
from serious.json import JsonModel
model = JsonModel(Person)
```
And use its [dump/load methods][doc-serialization]:
```python
person = Person('Albert Einstein')
model.dump(person) # {"name": "Albert Einstein"}
```
### Validation
To add validation to the example above all we need is to add `__validate__` method to person:
```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Optional
from serious import ValidationError, Email
@dataclass
class Person:
name: str
email: Optional[Email]
phone: Optional[str]
def __validate__(self):
if len(self.name) == 0:
raise ValidationError('Every person needs a name')
if self.phone is None and self.email is None:
raise ValidationError('At least some contact should be present')
```
[More on validation.][doc-validation]
### Supported formats:
- [x] [JSON][doc-json-model]
- [x] [Python Dictionaries][doc-dict-model]
- [ ] YAML
- [ ] Form data
### Supported field types
[More in docs.][doc-types]
- Other dataclasses
- Primitives: `str`, `int`, `float`, `bool`
- Dictionaries: only with string keys: `Dict[str, Any]`
- Lists, [sets][set], [deques][deque]: python collections of any serializable type
- [Tuples][tuple] both with and without ellipsis:
- tuples as set of independent elements (e.g. `Tuple[str, int, date]`)
- with ellipses, acting as a frozen list (`Tuple[str, ...]`)
- [Enumerations][enum] by value:
- of primitives (e.g. `OperatingSystem(Enum)`)
- typed enums (`Color(str, Enum)` and `FilePermission(IntFlag)`)
- [Decimal][decimal]: encoded to JSON as string
- [Datetime][datetime], [date][date] and [time][time]: encoded to the [ISO 8601][iso8601] formatted string
- [UUID][uuid]
- `serious.types.Timestamp`: a UTC timestamp since [UNIX epoch][epoch] as float ms value
- `serious.types.Email`: a string Tiny Type that supports validation and contains additional properties
- custom immutable alternatives to native python types in `serious.types`: `FrozenList`, `FrozenDict`
## A bigger example
```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from serious import JsonModel, ValidationError
from typing import List
from enum import Enum
class Specialty(Enum):
Worker = 1
Fool = 2
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Minion:
name: str
type: Specialty
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Boss:
name: str
minions: List[Minion]
def __validate__(self):
if len(self.minions) < 2:
raise ValidationError('What kind of boss are you?')
boss = Boss("me", [Minion('evil minion', Specialty.Fool), Minion('very evil minion', Specialty.Worker)])
boss_json = """{
"name": "me",
"minions": [
{
"name": "evil minion",
"type": "Fool"
},
{
"name": "very evil minion",
"type": "Worker"
}
]
}"""
model = JsonModel(Boss, indent=4)
assert model.dump(boss) == boss_json
assert model.load(boss_json) == boss
```
