I have data in which dates are represented as ISO strings. Example:
{"name": "John", "last_active": "2021-10-13T17:16:49-04:00"}
My Pydantic model:
from datetime import datetime
from pydantic import BaseModel
class User(BaseModel):
name: str
last_active: datetime
I want to achieve automatic date conversion when I do: User(**data). Pydantic actually parses datetime object from ISO string automatically, but I also need to convert these dates to UTC timezone, like:
datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(iso_str).replace(
tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc
)
What is the clean way of doing this with pydantic? More generally, do pydantic provide hook for preprocessing the passed data?
