[note] Enhancing Code Clarity with TypedDict

Why Use TypedDict?

In general, we use dataclasses and Pydantic to store data. However, using dictionaries to store complex data is often an easier approach. Nevertheless, without predefined fields, it becomes difficult for later developers to maintain the code effectively. Using TypedDict allows the IDE to provide developers with suggestions, enhancing their development efficiency. However, TypedDict has limitations, such as the inability to enforce strict type checking.

from typing import TypedDict
import datetime


class News(TypedDict):
    title: str 
    create_date: datetime.datetime
    content: str
