Installation

To install datamodel-code-generator:

$ pip install datamodel-code-generator

http extra option

If you want to resolve $ref for remote files then you should specify http extra option.

$ pip install 'datamodel-code-generator[http]'

                        using another input file type (e.g. GraphQL), the key is the name of
                        the object. The value is a dictionary of the template data to add.
  --use-double-quotes   Model generated with double quotes. Single quotes or your black

                        Include path parameters in generated parameter models in addition to

  --strict-nullable     Treat default field as a non-nullable field (Only OpenAPI)
  --use-operation-id-as-name
                        use operation id of OpenAPI as class names of models
  --validation          Deprecated: Enable validation (Only OpenAPI). this option is
                        deprecated. it will be removed in future releases

General options:
