While I'm a fan of both pydantic and SQLAlchemy, I feel like support for this should be more clear in pydantic. We have the `.from_orm` method and we have sqlalchemy model metadata. This project wraps them nicely but I shouldn't have to have separate glue code for this. Until we have cleaner pydantic/sqlalchemy integration for FastAPI, the OP's project will do just nicely. Great job. I fully expect FastAPI with it's reliance on pydantic to help push better support for ORM models though. Anyway, enough ranting and back to coding.
