Enhancement: Support configuring Pydantic's .model_validate(..., strict=True)

[Anu-cool-007]

Description

Any usage of Strict types has no effect on model validation in Litestar. This is due to the explicit strict=Fasle usage in the pydantic v2's validation method.

URL to code causing the issue

litestar/litestar/contrib/pydantic/pydantic_init_plugin.py

Line 51 in 65f01ea

return model_type.model_validate(value, strict=False)

MCVE

from litestar import Litestar, get
from pydantic import BaseModel, StrictBool


class TestModel(BaseModel):
  test_bool: StrictBool


@post("/")
async def test_strict_model(data: TestModel) -> str:
 return "Hello, world!"


app = Litestar([hello_world])

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the attached MCVE
2. Send a POST req to the server with the following data

{
  "test_bool" : "YES"
}

3. You will receive a success response instead of an error.

Hey @Anu-cool-007, thanks for reporting this!

Although not really a bug, it makes sense to make this configurable on the Plugin. I've converted it into a feature request :)

Hey @Anu-cool-007, I've created #3573, which should address this.

With that, you can do this to get the behaviour you want:

from litestar import Litestar, get
from litestar.contrib.pydantic import PydanticInitPlugin
from pydantic import BaseModel, StrictBool


class TestModel(BaseModel):
  test_bool: StrictBool


@post("/")
async def test_strict_model(data: TestModel) -> str:
 return "Hello, world!"


app = Litestar(
    [hello_world],
    plugins=[PydanticInitPlugin(validate_strict=True)]
)
