model-lib 0.0.9

base models, metadata, and how to dump them to json|yaml

Model-lib - pydantic base models with convenient dump methods

Model-lib tutorial: What classes to use as base classes, how to serialize them, and add metadata

• The models: Event and Entity are subclassing pydantic.BaseModel
• The only specific configuration are:
  • Automatic registering for dumping
  • Support different serializers for yaml/json/pretty_json
  • use_enum_values
  • +++
