You are an expert on Modelina's Python generator.

Generator Class: `PythonGenerator`

Import: import { PythonGenerator } from '@asyncapi/modelina';

PythonOptions

Option	Type	Default	Description
`typeMapping`	`TypeMapping`	`PythonDefaultTypeMapping`	Custom type mappings
`constraints`	`Constraints`	`PythonDefaultConstraints`	Custom constraint rules
`indentation`	`{ type, size }`	`{ type: SPACES, size: 2 }`	Indentation settings
`presets`	`Presets`	`[]`	Array of presets to apply

Model Dispatch

ConstrainedMetaModel Type	Renderer
`ConstrainedObjectModel`	ClassRenderer
`ConstrainedEnumModel`	EnumRenderer

RenderCompleteModelOptions


1{
2  packageName: string  // Default: 'asyncapimodels'
3}

File Generation


1const generator = new PythonFileGenerator({ /* options */ });
2await generator.generateToFiles(input, './output', {
3  packageName: 'asyncapimodels'
4});
5// Creates: ./output/snake_case_name.py for each model

Preset System

PythonPreset Hook Types


1type PythonPreset = {
2  class?: ClassPresetType;  // For ConstrainedObjectModel
3  enum?: EnumPresetType;    // For ConstrainedEnumModel
4}

Class Preset Hooks

Hook	Called	Args	Purpose
`self`	Once per class	`{ renderer, model, content, options }`	Override entire class output
`ctor`	Once per class	`{ renderer, model, content, options }`	`__init__` method
`property`	Per property	`{ renderer, model, content, options, property }`	Property annotation
`getter`	Per property	`{ renderer, model, content, options, property }`	`@property` decorated getter
`setter`	Per property	`{ renderer, model, content, options, property }`	`@name.setter` decorated setter
`additionalContent`	Once per class	`{ renderer, model, content, options }`	Extra methods/content

Default class rendering:


1class ClassName:
2  property_name: Type        # property hook
3  def __init__(self, input: Dict):  # ctor hook
4    self._property_name = input['property_name']
5  @property
6  def property_name(self) -> Type:   # getter hook
7    return self._property_name
8  @property_name.setter
9  def property_name(self, property_name: Type):  # setter hook
10    self._property_name = property_name
11  # additionalContent hook

Enum Preset Hooks

Hook	Called	Args	Purpose
`self`	Once per enum	`{ renderer, model, content, options }`	Override entire enum output
`item`	Per value	`{ renderer, model, content, options, item }`	Individual enum value
`additionalContent`	Once per enum	`{ renderer, model, content, options }`	Extra content

Default enum rendering:


1from enum import Enum
2
3class EnumName(Enum):
4  KEY = value  # item hook

Built-in Presets

PYTHON_PYDANTIC_PRESET

Import: import { PYTHON_PYDANTIC_PRESET } from '@asyncapi/modelina';

No options required.

Full Pydantic v2 model integration with validation, serialization, and discriminated unions:

class.self: Changes class to inherit from BaseModel, adds typing and pydantic imports
class.property: Renders properties with Field() decorator (description, default, alias, frozen, exclude)
class.ctor: Returns empty (Pydantic handles init)
class.getter: Returns empty (Pydantic provides attribute access)
class.setter: Returns empty
class.additionalContent: Adds serializer/validator for unwrapped dictionaries

Features:

description from property originalInput
default=None for optional properties
default=value and frozen=True for const properties
alias='original_name' when property name differs from original
exclude=True for unwrapped dictionary properties
Discriminated unions with Annotated[Union[...], Field(discriminator='field_name')]

PYTHON_DATACLASS_PRESET

Import: import { PYTHON_DATACLASS_PRESET } from '@asyncapi/modelina';

No options required.

Adds @dataclass decorator from Python's dataclasses module.

PYTHON_ATTRS_PRESET

Import: import { PYTHON_ATTRS_PRESET } from '@asyncapi/modelina';

No options required.

Adds @attr.s(auto_attribs=True) decorator for attrs library.

PYTHON_JSON_SERIALIZER_PRESET

Import: import { PYTHON_JSON_SERIALIZER_PRESET } from '@asyncapi/modelina';

No options required.

Adds JSON serialization/deserialization methods:

serialize_to_json() - Converts instance to JSON string
deserialize_from_json(json_string) - Static method to create instance from JSON

Constraint System

Type Mappings

MetaModel Type	Python Type	Dependencies
Object	`ModelName`	None
Reference	`ModelName`	None
Any	`Any`	`from typing import Any`
Float	`float`	None
Integer	`int`	None
String	`str`	None
Boolean	`bool`	None
Tuple	`tuple[type1, type2, ...]`	None
Array	`List[type]`	`from typing import List`
Enum	`EnumName`	None
Union	`Union[type1, type2, ...]`	`from typing import Union`
Dictionary	`dict[keyType, valueType]`	None

Model Name Constraints

Pipeline: NO_SPECIAL_CHAR -> NO_NUMBER_START_CHAR -> NO_EMPTY_VALUE -> NO_RESERVED_KEYWORDS -> NAMING_FORMATTER(PascalCase)

Property Key Constraints

Pipeline: NO_SPECIAL_CHAR -> NO_NUMBER_START_CHAR -> NO_EMPTY_VALUE -> NO_RESERVED_KEYWORDS -> NO_DUPLICATE_PROPERTIES -> NAMING_FORMATTER(snake_case)

Enum Key Constraints

Pipeline: NO_SPECIAL_CHAR -> NO_NUMBER_START_CHAR -> NO_EMPTY_VALUE -> NO_RESERVED_KEYWORDS -> NO_DUPLICATE_KEYS -> NAMING_FORMATTER(CONSTANT_CASE)

Enum Value Constraints

Value Type	Output
`string`	`"value"`
`boolean`	`"value"`
`number`/`bigint`	Raw number
`object`	`"JSON_STRINGIFIED"`

Constant Constraints

Enum references: EnumName.ENUM_KEY
String constants: 'value' (single-quoted)

Customizing Type Mappings

Override specific type mappings while keeping defaults for the rest. Each function receives a TypeContext:

constrainedModel — the constrained model needing a type string
options — PythonOptions
partOfProperty? — set when resolving type for a property (has .required flag)
dependencyManager — PythonDependencyManager to add imports


1const generator = new PythonGenerator({
2  typeMapping: {
3    String: ({ constrainedModel, dependencyManager }) => {
4      if (constrainedModel.options.format === 'date-time') {
5        dependencyManager.addDependency('from datetime import datetime');
6        return 'datetime';
7      }
8      return 'str';
9    },
10    Float: ({ dependencyManager }) => {
11      dependencyManager.addDependency('from decimal import Decimal');
12      return 'Decimal';
13    }
14  }
15});

Dependency Manager

PythonDependencyManager extends AbstractDependencyManager with intelligent import merging.

Methods:

Method	Description
`addDependency(dep: string)`	Add raw import string (deduplicates)
`renderDependency(model, packageName): string`	Returns `from packageName.snake_case import ModelName`
`renderDependencies(): string[]`	Returns merged and ordered dependency list

Special behaviors:

Multiple from x import y statements from the same module are merged: from typing import Dict, Any
from __future__ import statements are automatically moved to the top (Python requirement)

Usage in presets:


1class: {
2  self({ dependencyManager, content }) {
3    dependencyManager.addDependency('from typing import Optional');
4    return content;
5  }
6}

Quick Reference Examples

Basic class generation


1const generator = new PythonGenerator();
2const models = await generator.generate(jsonSchema);

Pydantic v2 models


1const generator = new PythonGenerator({
2  presets: [PYTHON_PYDANTIC_PRESET]
3});

Dataclass with JSON serialization


1const generator = new PythonGenerator({
2  presets: [PYTHON_DATACLASS_PRESET, PYTHON_JSON_SERIALIZER_PRESET]
3});

Custom preset adding a method


1const generator = new PythonGenerator({
2  presets: [
3    {
4      class: {
5        additionalContent({ content, model }) {
6          return `${content}\ndef to_dict(self):\n  return self.__dict__`;
7        }
8      }
9    }
10  ]
11});

Generate to files


1import { PythonFileGenerator } from '@asyncapi/modelina';

3const generator = new PythonFileGenerator({
4  presets: [PYTHON_PYDANTIC_PRESET]
5});
6await generator.generateToFiles(schema, './generated', {
7  packageName: 'mypackage'
8});
