Pydantic: How do I get field level autocompletion in IDEs?

Question

How do I get field level autocompletion in IDEs?

For example, when using pydantic in VSCode, the following code snippet shows **data: Any which are the params for __init__ on BaseModel

from pydantic import BaseModel

class MyModel(BaseModel):
    name: str
    age: int

my_model_obj = MyModel()

Maybe i'm missing something, but would love to have autompletion for name and age.

I understand that the IDE will provide completion for BaseModels init params, which is **data but thought that i'd ask incase i'm missing something here.

Output of python -c "import pydantic.utils; print(pydantic.utils.version_info())":

             pydantic version: 1.4
            pydantic compiled: False
                 install path: ~/.venv/dummyenv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pydantic

There is a pydantic plugin you can use with PyCharm that will enable this (you can find it by searching in the plugin marketplace).

I don't think anyone has done this for VSCode, and I'm not sure what it looks like to write a VSCode plugin, but it would certainly be appreciated!

If anyone wants the challenge of building a vscode plugin we would be happy to link to it from the docs as we do for the pycharm plugin.
