edgedb-pydantic-codegen 2025.3.1

Alternative Python EdgeDB code generator (Pydantic V2 + asyncio, FastAPI compatible)

edgedb-pydantic-codegen

This tool generates Python typesafe async code for EdgeQL queries using Pydantic V2.

The generated models can be directly used with other libraries such as FastAPI.

This is an alternative to the built-in code generator of the official edgedb-python library.

Usage

In an EdgeDB initialized project, simply run

uvx edgedb-pydantic-codegen <directory>

All *.edgeql files in <directory> and its subdirectories will be processed and the generated code saved next to them.

Generated code example

from enum import StrEnum

from edgedb import AsyncIOExecutor
from pydantic import BaseModel, TypeAdapter

EDGEQL_QUERY = r"""

  discord_id := <int64>$discord_id,
  moecoins := <optional int32>$moecoins,

    filter .client = global client and .user.discord_id = discord_id
    set {
      moecoins := .moecoins + (moecoins ?? 0),
      blood_shards := .blood_shards + (blood_shards ?? 0),

    )
    return adapter.validate_json(resp, strict=False)

Caveats

Currently this tool does not support:

• TupleType, RangeType and MultiRangeType collections
• std::duration, cal::relative_duration, cal::date_duration, cfg::memory and ext::pgvector::vector objects
