(see ValueSpec.from_value method). description is the description of this field. It can be optional when this field overrides the default value of a field defined in parent schema. metadata is an optional field which is a dict of user objects.

  • auto_typing – If True, infer value spec from Python annotations. Otherwise, pg.typing.Any() will be used.
