In that case, you can simply swap the standard `dataclasses` with `pydantic.dataclasses`, which is a drop-in replacement:

```{ .python .annotate hl_lines="1  5  8-11  14-17  23-25  28" }
{!../../../docs_src/dataclasses/tutorial003.py!}
```

1. We still import `field` from standard `dataclasses`.

2. `pydantic.dataclasses` is a drop-in replacement for `dataclasses`.

3. The `Author` dataclass includes a list of `Item` dataclasses.
