How can I get Python 3.7 new dataclass field types?

by

Inspecting __annotations__ gives you the raw annotations, but those don’t necessarily correspond to a dataclass’s field types. Things like ClassVar and InitVar show up in __annotations__, even though they’re not fields, and inherited fields don’t show up.

Instead, call dataclasses.fields on the dataclass, and inspect the field objects:

field_types = {field.name: field.type for field in fields(MyClass)}

Neither __annotations__ nor fields will resolve string annotations. If you want to resolve string annotations, the best way is probably typing.get_type_hints. get_type_hints will include ClassVars and InitVars, so we use fields to filter those out:

resolved_hints = typing.get_type_hints(MyClass)
field_names = [field.name for field in fields(MyClass)]
resolved_field_types = {name: resolved_hints[name] for name in field_names}
