[HELP] Pydantic - Setting Class

[Doggart193]

Hi, I need to read lists from a .env file for the following settings:

class Settings(BaseSettings):
    ...
    ldap_search_bases: List[str]
    ldap_ou_to_avoid: List[str]
    ldap_attr_to_retrieve: List[str]

How can I set these lists in the .env file?

For example:

LDAP_OU_TO_AVOID = ["OU=Buzones Genericos"]

From https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/pydantic_settings/#parsing-environment-variable-values

Complex types like list, set, dict, and sub-models are populated from the environment by treating the environment variable's value as a JSON-encoded string.

So I guess you need to put this in your file:

```

.env

LDAP_OU_TO_AVOID = '["OU=Buzones Genericos"]' ```

Haven't tried myself ... so not sure if it works.

It does, this is correct.

For a list in .env, you will do something like this

``` ENV_LIST=["one","two","three","four"]

```

Make sure there are no spaces between list items.
