About pydantic-models-py
A skill for structuring Pydantic models as clear API contracts, with separate models for shared fields, creation, updates, responses, and database records. It also covers camelCase aliases and integration into a project’s backend and TypeScript types.
Key features
- 01Separate Base, Create, Update, Response, and InDB models
- 02Configure camelCase field aliases
- 03Make update request fields optional
- 04Add doc_type to database models
- 05Integrate models and TypeScript types
Use cases
- 01Define models for API request and response contracts
- 02Build PATCH request models with optional fields
- 03Represent database documents with doc_type
- 04Keep backend models aligned with TypeScript types

Details
From the project READMEPydantic Models
Create Pydantic models following the multi-model pattern for clean API contracts.
Quick Start
Use the inline model patterns below and adapt class names and fields to the actual API contract. Inspect the installed Pydantic version before selecting configuration syntax; these fragments require the imports and application types shown by your project. Do not assume a standalone template file is bundled.
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"
Integration Steps
- Create models in
src/backend/app/models/ - Export from
src/backend/app/models/__init__.py - Add corresponding TypeScript types
