Adding custom validators

Mode360 Solutions is the organization behind the comment moderation system, and you're given a task to create a validation service for all employees. The system should be able to validate input details (username, email and age) such that only employees with an official email address can register.

You need to define a Pydantic User model using @validator decorator on email to check if the entered email ends with @mode360.com

These validators enhance security and system integration.

Exercise instructions

Add the Pydantic decorator to create a custom validator on the email field.
Use the string endswith method to check if the email address ends with the @mode360.com domain.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

from pydantic import BaseModel, validator, Field

class User(BaseModel):
    username: str = Field(..., min_length=5, max_length=20)  
    email: str
    age: int

    # Add the Pydantic decorator to validate
    ____('email')  
    def email_must_be_example_domain(cls, user_email):
        # Use the endswith method to validate the email ends with @mode360.com
        if not user_email.endswith("____"):
            raise ValueError('Email must be from the mode360.com domain')
        return user_email

Start serving your ML model's predictions via FastAPI endpoints. You'll learn to load pre-trained ML models and create API endpoints to serve predictions as serialized responses over HTTP requests. You'll leverage Pydantic data models to validate requests and responses.

Exercise 1: GET and POST requests for AI Exercise 2: GET endpoint for model information Exercise 3: POST endpoint for model registration Exercise 4: FastAPI prediction with a pre-trained model Exercise 5: Load the pre-trained model Exercise 6: Create the prediction endpoint Exercise 7: Running the FastAPI app Exercise 8: Request and response models Exercise 9: Create a Pydantic model for ML input Exercise 10: Validate request and response for ML prediction

Learn how to serve machine learning models through FastAPI endpoints. This chapter covers creating endpoints that return predictions, handling different types of input data, and implementing robust input validation. You'll build production-ready APIs that can validate different types of input data while having ML models loaded at server startup with zero downtime.
