Can you not just call to_dict on data?
Yes, if you have betterproto.lib.google.protobuf.Struct
instance and want to cast it to a dictionary, you can invoke to_dict()
. What I want, is to cast it from a dictionary to the instance. Of course, we have the from_dict()
function which can construct an instance of the betterproto.lib.google.protobuf.Struct
class, but you need to prepare the dictionary, cause it requires specifying the type for each dictionary key and value. Anyway, I need a helper function to prepare my dictionary. I am looking for this function in the lib sources, but for now, do not found it. Interestingly, the protobuf package from Google has such a function, so you just pass a dictionary into and get the result struct.
Any ideas?
Here the template as example:
So, the idea is to add a function to cast a python dictionary in the protobuf structure. The value of dictionary can be any type: int, str, list, dict but we need to automatically set up the fields attribute for the
betterproto.lib.google.protobuf.Struct
instance. Is this functionality exists? (for now, I just wrote a custom function for it)
