> Export a data contract to a Pydantic model.

#  Export: Pydantic Model

Generates [Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/) model classes from the data contract.

{/* AUTOGENERATED EXAMPLE: do not edit by hand; regenerate with the update script. */}

```bash
datacontract export pydantic-model orders.odcs.yaml --output orders.py
```

Running this against the [example `orders` contract](https://github.com/datacontract/datacontract-cli/blob/main/examples/orders/orders.odcs.yaml) produces:

```python
import datetime, typing, pydantic, decimal
'Tracks customer orders and their line items for analytics and reporting.'

class Orders(pydantic.BaseModel):
    """One row per customer order."""
    order_id: str
    'Unique identifier of the order.'
    order_timestamp: datetime.datetime
    'Timestamp when the order was placed.'
    customer_id: str
    'Reference to the customer who placed the order.'
    order_total: float
    'Total amount of the order in cents.'
    status: str
    'Current fulfilment status of the order.'

class Line_items(pydantic.BaseModel):
    """One row per line item within an order."""
    line_item_id: str
    'Unique identifier of the line item.'
    order_id: str
    'Reference to the parent order.'
    sku: str
    'Stock keeping unit of the purchased product.'
    quantity: int
    'Number of units purchased.'
```
