Query string support about mashumaro HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @tkukushkin

I’m currently on my vacation and will answer you next week. Before that you can read an example of using MultiDict with SerializationStrategy here https://github.com/Fatal1ty/mashumaro#third-party-generic-types

from mashumaro.

Hi! I've seen this example, but if I'm not mistaken, it is not about reading dataclass from multidict, but about reading some data to multidict.

Ok, I'm here. The first thing I want to say is that different web frameworks have different multidict implementations for working with query string. The package multidict is not the only implementation. So, since there is no standard implementation that would dictate how dunder methods should work and what additional methods should exist, I'm not sure that mashumaro should have native support for multidict structures. However, you can make it work with multidict structures using a pre-deserialize hook. In the following example, I'll show you how to do this with multidict package that has getall method:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import get_type_hints

import multidict

from mashumaro import DataClassDictMixin
from mashumaro.core.meta.helpers import get_type_origin


class DataClassMultiDictMixin(DataClassDictMixin):
    def __init_subclass__(cls, **kwargs):
        super().__init_subclass__(**kwargs)
        list_fields = set()
        for fname, ftype in get_type_hints(cls).items():
            if issubclass(get_type_origin(ftype), list):
            # you can check not only for lists but for other collection types
                list_fields.add(fname)
        cls.__list_fields__ = list_fields

    @classmethod
    def __pre_deserialize__(cls, d):
        # d.copy() can be used if necessary
        for name in cls.__list_fields__:
            d[name] = d.getall(name)
        return d


@dataclass
class Foo(DataClassMultiDictMixin):
    x: float
    y: list[int]


o = Foo.from_dict(multidict.MultiDict([("x", "1.2"), ("y", "2"), ("y", "3")]))
assert o == Foo(x=1.2, y=[2, 3])

The idea is simple. The string contains either a single value or a multiple value. Here we use the dataclass type hints to collect all keys that are supposed to have multiple values and get all the values in the hook. We could use this reflection at runtime in the hook but it's more performant to do it once on dataclass creation.

@tkukushkin can we close this issue now?

I’m closing this one. Feel free to reopen if you have further questions.
