Library to transform a Pydantic RootModel into a flattened BaseModel

pydantic-flatten-rootmodel

Library to transform a Pydantic RootModel with discriminated unions into a flattened BaseModel.

from pydantic_flatten_rootmodel import flatten_root_model

class Cat(BaseModel):
    pet_type: Annotated[Literal["cat"], Field()]
    meow: str


class Dog(BaseModel):
    pet_type: Annotated[Literal["dog"], Field()]
    bark: str

class Pet(RootModel[Cat | Dog]):
    root: Annotated[Cat | Dog, Field(discriminator="pet_type")]


FlattenedPet = flatten_root_model(Pet)

would result in FlattenedPet to have this shape:

class FlattenedPet(BaseModel):
   pet_type: Annotated[Union[Literal["cat"], Literal["dog"]]]
   bark: Union[str, None]
   meow: Union[str, None]

This can for example be leveraged by dlt for it's schema definition. Without flattening it, the discriminated union is not recognized correctly when setting up the table schema.
