The types in this package are pydantic types for Ethereum inspired from eth-typing.
HashBytes{n}
and HashStr{n}
are good types to use when your hex values are sized.
Both types serialize to string
in the JSON schema.
Use HashBytes
types when you want types to serialize to bytes in the Pydantic core schema and HashStr
types when you want to serialize to str
in the core Pydantic schema.
from pydantic import BaseModel
from eth_pydantic_types import HashBytes32, HashStr20
# When serializing to JSON, both types are hex strings.
class Transaction(BaseModel):
tx_hash: HashBytes32 # Will be bytes
address: HashStr20 # Will be str
# NOTE: I am able to pass an int-hash as the value and it will
# get validated and type-coerced.
tx = Transaction(
tx_hash=0x1031f0c9ac54dcb64b4f121a27957c14263c5cb49ed316d568e41e19c34d7b28,
address=0x1031f0c9ac54dcb64b4f121a27957c14263c5cb4,
)
A thin-wrapper around an already thin-wrapper hexbytes.HexBytes
.
The difference here is that this HexBytes properly serializes.
Use HexBytes any place where you would actually use hexbytes.HexBytes
.
HexBytes
serializes to bytes in the Pydantic core schema and string
in the JSON schema with a binary format.
from pydantic import BaseModel
from eth_pydantic_types import HexBytes
class MyStorage(BaseModel):
cid: HexBytes
# NOTE: We are able to pass a hex-str for a HexBytes value.
storage = MyStorage(cid="0x123")
Use the Address class for working with checksummed-addresses.
Addresses get validated and checksummed in model construction.
Addresses serialize to str
in the Pydantic core schema and string
in the JSON schema with a binary format.
from pydantic import BaseModel
from eth_pydantic_types import Address
class Account(BaseModel):
address: Address
# NOTE: The address ends up checksummed
# ("0x0837207e343277CBd6c114a45EC0e9Ec56a1AD84")
account = Account(address="0x837207e343277cbd6c114a45ec0e9ec56a1ad84")
Use hex str when you only care about un-sized hex strings.
The HexStr
type serializes to str
in the Pydantic core schema and a string
in the JSON schema with a binary format.
from eth_pydantic_types import HexStr
from pydantic import BaseModel
class Tx(BaseModel):
data: HexStr
tx = Tx(data="0x0123")
Use BIP-122 URIs in your models by annotating with the Bip122Uri
type.
This type serializes to a str
in the Pydantic core schema as well as a string
in the JSON schema, however the individual hashes are validated.
from eth_pydantic_types import Bip122Uri
from pydantic import BaseModel
class Message(BaseModel):
path: Bip122Uri
message = Message(
path=(
"blockchain://d4e56740f876aef8c010b86a40d5f56745a118d0906a34e69aec8c0db1cb8fa3"
"/block/752820c0ad7abc1200f9ad42c4adc6fbb4bd44b5bed4667990e64565102c1ba6"
