model_type: type[T]

If annotation is an iterable, this is the inner type, otherwise will be the same as annotation.

class advanced_alchemy.extensions.litestar.SQLAlchemyDTOConfig[source]

Bases: DTOConfig

Additional controls for the generated SQLAlchemy DTO.

__init__(exclude=<factory>, include=<factory>, rename_fields=<factory>, rename_strategy=None, max_nested_depth=1, partial=False, underscore_fields_private=True, experimental_codegen_backend=None, forbid_unknown_fields=False, include_implicit_fields=True)
include_implicit_fields: Union[bool, Literal['hybrid-only']] = True

Fields that are implicitly mapped are included.

When setting this to hybrid-only, all implicitly mapped fields are excluded with the exception for hybrid properties.

exclude: Set[Union[str, InstrumentedAttribute[Any]]]

Explicitly exclude fields from the generated DTO.

If exclude is specified, all fields not specified in exclude will be included by default.

Notes

  • The field names are dot-separated paths to nested fields, e.g. "address.street" will

    exclude the "street" field from a nested "address" model.

  • ‘exclude’ mutually exclusive with ‘include’ - specifying both values will raise an

    ImproperlyConfiguredException.

include: Set[Union[str, InstrumentedAttribute[Any]]]

Explicitly include fields in the generated DTO.

If include is specified, all fields not specified in include will be excluded by default.

Notes

  • The field names are dot-separated paths to nested fields, e.g. "address.street" will

    include the "street" field from a nested "address" model.

  • ‘include’ mutually exclusive with ‘exclude’ - specifying both values will raise an

    ImproperlyConfiguredException.

rename_fields: dict[Union[str, InstrumentedAttribute[Any]], str]

Mapping of field names, to new name.
