dataclass_dict

All this package does is create a dataclass so you can straight up use it as if it was a dictionary. Here's a basic example:

>>> from dataclass_dict import create_dataclass_dict
>>> # Generate a instance from a dict
>>> instance = create_dataclass_dict({"name": "Test", "value": 10})

>>> instance.name
'Test'
>>> instance["name"]
'Test'
>>> instance.pop("name") # deletes the field "name"
'Test'

Further examples and api can be found in the documentation: https://dataclass-dict.readthedocs.io/

Install

This package only works with python 3.6 or above because it uses dataclasses. In python 3.6 it will use the dataclass package from pypi.

To use this package you may run the following command:

pip install dataclass-dict
