yaml-settings-pydantic 2.3.2

Additional information

First, it is worth reading the pydantic_settings docs about additional sources: https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/usage/pydantic_settings/

Additionally see the example in ./tests/examples/__init__.py. It is gaurenteed to work as its contents are tested. It contains information on how to write nested configurations.

Tools

There are three classes worth knowing about:

• YamlSettingsConfigDict – pydantic_settings.SetttingsConfigDict extended to include the fields used by CreateYamlSettings.

• CreateYamlSettings – The pydantic PydanticBaseSettingsSource that will analyze your class for the following class variables:

  1. Files to be used – under __env_yaml_files__ or model_config.yaml_files.

  2. The reload settings – under __env_yaml_reload__ or model_config.yaml_reload.

  CreateYamlSettings does not have to be used at all, but can be helpful if you don’t want to use BaseYamlSettings for any reason.

• BaseYamlSettings – Use this directly as done in the example below. This is ‘the easy way’.

Minimal Examples

The shortest possible example is as follows:

from yaml_settings_pydantic import BaseYamlSettings

class MySettings(BaseYamlSettings):
   __env_yaml_files__ = "settings.yaml"

   setttingOne: str
   settingTwo: str
   ...

...

Note that the above example can also be written like

from yaml_settings_pydantic import BaseYamlSettings, YamlSettingsConfigDict

class MySettings(BaseYamlSettings):
   model_config = YamlSettingsConfigDict(yaml_files="settings.yaml")

   setttingOne: str
   settingTwo: str
   ...

...

which is more like pydantic v2. The ‘dunder’ specifications will take priority over their equivalent model_config specifications. These map as follows:

+-----------------------+------------------+
| dunder                | model_config     |
+-----------------------+------------------+
| __env_yaml_files__    | yaml_files       |
| __env_yaml_reload__   | yaml_reload      |
+-----------------------+------------------+
