Hide fields from interfaces

[downdawn]

Hi, @wu-clan

class UserBase(BaseModel):
    username: str
    password: str

class CreateUser(UserBase):
    dept_id: int

For example, when creating a user, the department id is hidden from the interface, it is not open to the outside world, and it is set by the backend

[wu-clan]

This doesn't seem very realistic, dept_id will be fixed default value

This encompasses different scenarios, just set dept_id to an optional field, for front-end registrations, don't transmit it, for back-end registrations, transmit it

This is just an example.
Alternatively, for a particular scenario, the user ID is required, but it does not need to be passed from the frontend. However, the schema requires the user ID to be set. If it's optional, it could mislead the frontend.

Define a base schema and hide any specified fields, as discussed tiangolo/fastapi#7585

class MyBase(BaseModel):
    class Config:
        @staticmethod
        def schema_extra(schema: dict, _):
            props = {}
            """
            Removes any fields from the OpenAPI spec if they have a `hidden` tag
            """
            for k, v in schema.get("properties", {}).items():
                if not v.get("hidden", False):
                    props[k] = v
            schema["properties"] = props

class UserCreate(MyBase):
    id: int | None = Field(hidden=True)
   name: str

Thanks, this is very helpful for In

Nice, we can add it to SchemaBase.

I don't know if it is compatible with V2

This feature is implemented in V2: https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/usage/models/#extra-fields
