Request Models

Request models in Nexios are built using Pydantic's BaseModel to provide robust request validation, automatic OpenAPI documentation, and type-safe request handling. This documentation covers how to define and use request models in your API endpoints.

Defining Request Models

Request models are standard Pydantic models that define the expected structure of incoming request data. To define a request model in your API endpoint, you can use the request_model argument in the @app.get or @app.post decorators. Here's an example:

python

from nexios import NexiosApp
from pydantic import BaseModel

class User(BaseModel):
    name: str
    age : int

app = NexiosApp()

@app.post("/users", request_model=User)
async def get_users(req, res):
    ...

For more information on how to use request models, please refer to the Pydantic documentation
