Now let's see how Redis OM makes data validation a snap, thanks to [Pydantic](https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/).

Or, continue reading to see how Redis OM makes data validation a snap.
### Data Validation
When you create a model with Redis OM, you define fields and give them type annotations. As a refresher, take a look at the `Customer` model we already built:
Redis OM uses [Pydantic](pydantic-url) to validate data based on the type annotations you assign to fields in a model class.
This validation ensures that fields like `first_name`, which the `Customer` model marked as a `str`, are always string. **But every Redis OM model is also a Pydantic model**, so you can use Pydantic validators like `EmailStr`, `Pattern`, and many more for complex validation!
As an example, because we used the `EmailStr` validator, we'll get a validation error if we try to save a `Customer` with an invalid email address:
```python
class Customer(HashModel):
first_name: str
last_name: str
email: EmailStr
join_date: datetime.date
age: int
bio: Optional[str]
```
Redis OM uses [Pydantic](pydantic-url) behind the scenes to validate data at runtime, based on the model's type annotations.
This validation works for basic cases, like ensuring that `first_name` is always a string. But every Redis OM model is also a Pydantic model, so you can use existing Pydantic validators like `EmailStr`, `Pattern`, and many more for complex validation!
#### A Demo
Let's see what happens if we try to instantiate our `Customer` class with an invalid email address.

# We'll get a validation error if we try to use an invalid email address!
Customer(
first_name="Andrew",
last_name="Brookins",

Data modeling, validation, and persisting to Redis all work regardless of how you run Redis.
This code generates a validation error:
However, Redis OM will take your Python applications to the next level if you're using the RediSearch and RedisJSON modules in your Redis deployment. Next, we'll talk about the **rich query expressions** and **embedded models** that Redis OM gives you with those Redis modules.
```
Traceback:
pydantic.error_wrappers.ValidationError: 1 validation error for Customer
email
value is not a valid email address (type=value_error.email)
```
**TIP**: *Wait, what's a Redis module?* If you aren't familiar with Redis modules, review the *RediSearch and RedisJSON* section of this README.
What's great about this is **any existing Pydantic validator should work** as a drop-in type annotation with a Redis OM model. You can also write arbitrarily complex custom validations!
To learn more, see the [documentation on data validation](docs/validation.md).
#### Rich Queries and Embedded Models
Data modeling, validation, and saving models to Redis all work regardless of how you run Redis.
Next, we'll show you the **rich query expressions** and **embedded models** Redis OM provides when the [RediSearch](redisearch-url) and [RedisJSON](redis-json-url) modules are installed in your Redis deployment.

### Querying
Querying uses a rich expression syntax inspired by the Django ORM, SQLAlchemy, and Peewee.
The example code defines `Address` and `Customer` models for use with a Redis database with the [RedisJSON](redis-json-url) module installed.
Let's make a small change to the `Customer` model we defined earlier to let Redis OM know that we want to query using the `last_name` and `age` fields:
With these two classes defined, you can now:
```python
class Customer(HashModel):
first_name: str
last_name: str = Field(index=True)
email: EmailStr
join_date: datetime.date
age: int = Field(index=True)
bio: Optional[str]
```
* Validate data based on the model's type annotations using Pydantic
* Persist model instances to Redis as JSON
* Instantiate model instances from Redis by primary key (a client-generated [ULID](ulid-url))
* Query on any indexed fields in the models
Now, if we use this model with a Redis deployment that has the [RediSearch module](redisearch-url) installed, we can run queries like the following:
```python
# Find all customers with the last name "Brookins"
Customer.find(Customer.last_name == "Brookins").all()
# Find all customers that do NOT have the last name "Brookins"
Customer.find(Customer.last_name != "Brookins").all()
# Find all customers whose last name is "Brookins" OR whose age is
# 100 AND whose last name is "Smith"
Customer.find((Customer.last_name == "Brookins") | (
Customer.age == 100
) & (Customer.last_name == "Smith")).all()
```
These queries -- and more! -- are possible because **Redis OM manages indexes for you automatically**.
Querying with this index features a rich expression syntax inspired by the Django ORM, SQLAlchemy, and Peewee. We think you'll enjoy it!
To see more example queries, see the [documentation on querying](docs/querying.md).
### Embedded Models
Redis OM can store and query **nested models** like any document database, with the speed and power you get from Redis. Let's see how this works.
In the next example, we'll define a new `Address` model and embed it within the `Customer` model.
```python

# Validation
Redis OM uses [Pydantic](pydantic-url) behind the scenes to validate data at runtime, based on the model's type annotations.
## Basic Type Validation
Validation works for basic type annotations like `str`. Thus, given the following model:
```python
class Customer(HashModel):
first_name: str
last_name: str
email: EmailStr
join_date: datetime.date
age: int
bio: Optional[str]
```
... Redis OM will ensure that `first_name` is always a string.
But every Redis OM model is also a Pydantic model, so you can use existing Pydantic validators like `EmailStr`, `Pattern`, and many more for complex validation!
## Complex Validation
Let's see what happens if we try to create a `Customer` object with an invalid email address.
```python
# We'll get a validation error if we try to use an invalid email address!
Customer(
first_name="Andrew",
last_name="Brookins",
email="Not an email address!",
join_date=datetime.date.today(),
age=38,
bio="Python developer, works at Redis, Inc."
)
```
This code generates the following error:
```
Traceback:
pydantic.error_wrappers.ValidationError: 1 validation error for Customer
email
value is not a valid email address (type=value_error.email)
```
We'll also get a validation error if we change a field on a model instance to an invalid value and then try to save it:
```python
andrew = Customer(
first_name="Andrew",
last_name="Brookins",
email="andrew.brookins@example.com",
join_date=datetime.date.today(),
age=38,
bio="Python developer, works at Redis, Inc."
)
andrew.email = "Not valid"
andrew.save()
```
Once again, we get the valiation error:
```
Traceback:
pydantic.error_wrappers.ValidationError: 1 validation error for Customer
email
value is not a valid email address (type=value_error.email)
```
