Basic Types

pytypeinput supports all basic Python types: str, int, float, bool, date, time.

String

Basic string input:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from pytypeinput import analyze_dataclass

@dataclass
class UserForm:
    username: str

params = analyze_dataclass(UserForm)

print(params[0].name)        # "username"
print(params[0].param_type)  # <class 'str'>

Integer

Basic integer input:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from pytypeinput import analyze_dataclass

@dataclass
class UserForm:
    age: int

params = analyze_dataclass(UserForm)

print(params[0].name)        # "age"
print(params[0].param_type)  # <class 'int'>

Float

Basic float input:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from pytypeinput import analyze_dataclass

@dataclass
class ProductForm:
    price: float

params = analyze_dataclass(ProductForm)

print(params[0].name)        # "price"
print(params[0].param_type)  # <class 'float'>

HTML Renderer Demo:

Boolean

Boolean toggle switch:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from pytypeinput import analyze_dataclass

@dataclass
class PreferencesForm:
    newsletter: bool

params = analyze_dataclass(PreferencesForm)

print(params[0].name)        # "newsletter"
print(params[0].param_type)  # <class 'bool'>

Date

Date picker input:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from datetime import date
from pytypeinput import analyze_dataclass

@dataclass
class UserForm:
    birthday: date

params = analyze_dataclass(UserForm)

print(params[0].name)        # "birthday"
print(params[0].param_type)  # <class 'datetime.date'>

HTML Renderer Demo:

Time

Time picker input:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from datetime import time
from pytypeinput import analyze_dataclass

@dataclass
class MeetingForm:
    meeting_time: time

params = analyze_dataclass(MeetingForm)

print(params[0].name)        # "meeting_time"
print(params[0].param_type)  # <class 'datetime.time'>

Default Values

All basic types support default values:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from pytypeinput import analyze_dataclass

@dataclass
class SettingsForm:
    theme: str = "dark"
    volume: int = 50
    notifications: bool = True

params = analyze_dataclass(SettingsForm)

print(params[0].default)  # "dark"
print(params[1].default)  # 50
print(params[2].default)  # True
