Bases: pg.typing.Generic, ValueSpecBase

Value spec for type.

Examples:

# A required type or subclass of A.
pg.typing.Type(A)

# An required type or subclass of A (forward declaration).
pg.typing.Type('A')

# An optional type or subclass of A.
pg.typing.Type(A).noneable()

# A required type or subclass of A with default value B
# (B is a subclass of A).
pg.typing.Type(A, default=B)

Methods:

format([compact, verbose, root_indent])	Format this object.
to_json(**kwargs)	Returns a plain Python value as a representation for this object.

Attributes:

forward_refs	Returns forward references used in this spec.
type	Returns desired type.

format(compact=False, verbose=True, root_indent=0, **kwargs)

Format this object.

Return type:

str

property forward_refs: Set[ForwardRef]

Returns forward references used in this spec.

to_json(**kwargs)

Returns a plain Python value as a representation for this object.

A plain Python value are basic python types that can be serialized into JSON, e.g: bool, int, float, str, dict (with string keys), list, tuple where the container types should have plain Python values as their values.

Return type:

Dict[str, Any]

• context – JSON conversion context.

• **kwargs – Keyword arguments as flags to control JSON conversion.
