Bases: DTOConfig

Additional controls for the generated SQLAlchemy DTO.

exclude: AbstractSet[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: AbstractSet[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[str | InstrumentedAttribute[Any], str]

Mapping of field names, to new name.

include_implicit_fields: bool | Literal['hybrid-only'] = True

Fields that are implicitly mapped are included.

Turning this off will lead to exclude all fields not using Mapped annotation,

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

__init__(exclude: AbstractSet[str | InstrumentedAttribute[Any]] = <factory>, include: AbstractSet[str | InstrumentedAttribute[Any]] = <factory>, rename_fields: dict[str | InstrumentedAttribute[Any], str] = <factory>, rename_strategy: RenameStrategy | None = None, max_nested_depth: int = 1, partial: bool = False, underscore_fields_private: bool = True, experimental_codegen_backend: bool | None = None, forbid_unknown_fields: bool = False, include_implicit_fields: bool | Literal['hybrid-only'] = True) None
