The dataclass will be automatically converted to a Pydantic dataclass.

This way, its schema will show up in the API docs user interface:

## Dataclasses in Nested Data Structures { #dataclasses-in-nested-data-structures }

You can also combine `dataclasses` with other type annotations to make nested data structures.

from dataclasses import field  # (1)

from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic.dataclasses import dataclass  # (2)


@dataclass
class Item:
    name: str
    description: str | None = None


@dataclass
class Author:
    name: str
    items: list[Item] = field(default_factory=list)  # (3)


app = FastAPI()


@app.post("/authors/{author_id}/items/", response_model=Author)  # (4)

from dataclasses import dataclass

from fastapi import FastAPI


@dataclass
class Item:
    name: str
    price: float
    description: str | None = None
    tax: float | None = None


app = FastAPI()


@app.post("/items/")
async def create_item(item: Item):

If a class is needed, instead create a regular function dependency that returns a class instance.

Do this:

```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Annotated

from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI

app = FastAPI()


@dataclass
class DatabasePaginator:
    offset: int = 0
    limit: int = 100
    q: str | None = None

    def get_page(self) -> dict:

from __future__ import annotations

import uuid
from dataclasses import dataclass, field

from dirty_equals import IsUUID
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.testclient import TestClient
from inline_snapshot import snapshot


@dataclass
class Item:
    id: uuid.UUID
    name: str
    price: float
    tags: list[str] = field(default_factory=list)
    description: str | None = None
    tax: float | None = None

2. `pydantic.dataclasses` — полностью совместимая замена (drop-in replacement) для `dataclasses`.

3. Dataclass `Author` содержит список dataclass `Item`.

4. Dataclass `Author` используется в параметре `response_model`.

5. Вы можете использовать и другие стандартные аннотации типов вместе с dataclasses в качестве тела запроса.

    В этом случае это список dataclass `Item`.

その場合は、標準の `dataclasses` を `pydantic.dataclasses` に置き換えるだけで済みます。これはドロップイン置換です:

{* ../../docs_src/dataclasses_/tutorial003_py310.py hl[1,4,7:10,13:16,22:24,27] *}

1. 依然として標準の `dataclasses` から `field` をインポートします。

2. `pydantic.dataclasses` は `dataclasses` のドロップイン置換です。

3. `Author` dataclass は `Item` dataclass のリストを含みます。

4. `Author` dataclass を `response_model` パラメータとして使用しています。
