mixin_classes

DictMixin dataclass

Mixin class to add "as_dict()" method to classes. Equivalent to .dict.

Adds a .as_dict() method to classes that inherit from this mixin. For example, to add .as_dict() method to a parent class, where all children inherit the .as_dict() function, declare parent as:

1
2
3
@dataclass
class Parent(DictMixin):
    ...

and call like:

1
2
p = Parent()
p_dict = p.as_dict()
