Examples

While the configuration documentation contains all available options in detail, this page shows them in conjunction to provide different examples on how to display pydantic models and settings.

Default configuration

This example shows the default out-of-the-box configuration of autodoc_pydantic. In contrast, it also shows how standard sphinx autodoc displays the same example code.

rendered output sphinx

python

target.example_setting

reST

.. autopydantic_settings:: target.example_setting.ExampleSettings

Complete configuration

This example represents a rendered output for which all features are enabled. It deviates from the default configuration above because it contains redundant information which is most likely not required. However, for demonstration purposes, this scenario covers all available display options for pydantic models/settings.

rendered output

reST

.. autopydantic_settings:: target.example_setting.ExampleSettings
   :noindex:
   :settings-show-config-member: True
   :validator-list-fields: True

python

target.example_setting

Fields only

In this scenario everything is hidden except actual pydantic fields. Validators and model/setting config is hidden.

rendered output

reST

.. autopydantic_settings:: target.example_setting.ExampleSettings
   :settings-show-json: False
   :settings-show-config-member: False
   :settings-show-config-summary: False
   :settings-show-validator-members: False
   :settings-show-validator-summary: False
   :field-list-validators: False

python

target.example_setting

Asterisk and root validators

This example highlights how asterisk (@validator('*')) and root validators (@root_validator) are represented. Since they validate all fields, their corresponding field reference is replaced with a simple all fields marker which hyperlinks to the related model itself.

rendered output

reST

.. autopydantic_model:: target.example_validators.ExampleValidators

python

target.example_validators

Note

By default the function signature of validators is replaced with hyperlinks to validated fields by autodoc_pydantic. You can disable this behaviour via validator-replace-signature <autodoc_pydantic_validator_replace_signature>.
