Converting from JSON/Dict to a client Object

[vishal-biyani]

Hi,
I am using the client-python to retrieve objects and then store them in a data store. So far things work pretty clean.

Now I have an use case where I need to read the previously stored JSON representation of the object, create a client object and modify certain values and then create it in Kubernetes cluster.

I did check out issue #63 which is pretty close. I wanted to check if there is an easy way to do this at all?

bump; I need this

To follow on the resolution of #63: to_dict() uses different attribute names (e.g. snake_case instead of camelCase) so the resulting object don't work when sent to the API. The only way I've found to convert between models and JSON is this:

json_obj = client.api_client.sanitize_for_serialization(model_obj)
model_obj = client.api_client._ApiClient__deserialize(json_obj, 'V1Pod')

The model-to-json is sort of usable, but json-to-model uses a private API and needs you to map from json_obj['kind'] to the class name manually.

The public deserialize() also expects a RESTResponse object. Although I can probably make a fake one, that seems like a weird approach as well.

Check out #574 - you can use _preload_content

@micw523: This only allows me to get raw JSON from a request, not to convert between JSON/Dict and models 😢
