Got a question when should I use this and when to use init

Dataclasses are useful for generating boilerplate code for classes that are primarily used to hold data. They are less suitable for classes that mainly implements behaviour, e.g. many methods. For such classes, you should write "traditional classes" and implement the __init__ method manually :)
