Email Validator in Django Ninja

Question

I found that Django Ninja uses Pydantic. I have created a Schema from Django model,

class UserSchema(ModelSchema):
    class Config:
        model = User
        model_fields = ["username", "first_name", "last_name", "email"]


class CreateUserSchema(UserSchema):
    password: str

and I used CreateUserSchema in my view, and import EmailStr from Pydantic

...
async def register(request, user_data: schemas.CreateUserSchema):
    email = EmailStr(user_data.pop("email"))
...

I want to validate EmailField but, it cannot validate, and store anything in the field. How can if fix it?

Answer 1

A simple way using django-ninja and pydantic (pydantic needs to be installed with the email flag: pip install pydantic[email]) is following:

class UserSchema(ModelSchema):
    email: EmailStr

    class Config:
        model = User
        model_fields = ["username", "first_name", "last_name", "email"]


class CreateUserSchema(UserSchema):
    password: str

So it will validate the email directly in schema validation
