Variable

This module defines data models for variables used in Onshape documents retrieved from Onshape REST API responses.

The data models are implemented as Pydantic BaseModel classes, which are used to

1. Parse JSON responses from the API into Python objects.
2. Validate the structure and types of the JSON responses.
3. Provide type hints for better code clarity and autocompletion.

These models ensure that the data received from the API adheres to the expected format and types, facilitating easier and safer manipulation of the data within the application.

Models
  • Variable: Represents a variable used in Onshape's Variable Studio.
Enum
  • VARIABLE_TYPE: Enumerates the possible variable types in Onshape (LENGTH, ANGLE, NUMBER, ANY).

VARIABLE_TYPE

Bases: str, Enum

Enumerates the possible variable types in Onshape

Attributes:

Name Type Description
LENGTH str

Length variable type
ANGLE str

Angle variable type
NUMBER str

Number variable type
ANY str

Any variable type

Examples:

>>> VARIABLE_TYPE.LENGTH
'LENGTH'
>>> VARIABLE_TYPE.ANGLE
'ANGLE'
