Example

import pydantic.v1 as pydantic

import pydantic_argparse


class Arguments(pydantic.BaseModel):
    # Required Args
    string: str = pydantic.Field(description="a required string", aliases=["-s"])
    integer: int = pydantic.Field(description="a required integer", aliases=["-i"])
    flag: bool = pydantic.Field(description="a required flag", aliases=["-f"])

    # Optional Args
    second_flag: bool = pydantic.Field(False, description="an optional flag")
    third_flag: bool = pydantic.Field(True, description="an optional flag")


def main() -> None:
    # Create Parser and Parse Args
    parser = pydantic_argparse.ArgumentParser(
        model=Arguments,
        prog="Example Program",
        description="Example Description",
        version="0.0.1",
        epilog="Example Epilog",
    )
    args = parser.parse_typed_args()

    # Print Args
    print(args)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

$ python3 example.py --help
usage: Example Program [-h] [-v] [-s STRING] [-i INTEGER] [-f | --flag | --no-flag]
                       [--second-flag] [--no-third-flag]

Example Description

required arguments:
  -s STRING, --string STRING
                        a required string
  -i INTEGER, --integer INTEGER
                        a required integer
  -f, --flag, --no-flag
                        a required flag

optional arguments:
