Print the __str__()

You might want an opt-in __str__ method on classes that inherit from DataclassWizard. This opt-in method will format the dataclass instance as a prettified JSON string, for example whenever str(obj) or print(obj) is called.

If you want to opt in to this __str__ method, you can pass str=True as shown below:

from dataclass_wizard import DataclassWizard


class MyClass(DataclassWizard, str=True):
    my_str: str = 'hello world'
    my_int: int = 2


c = MyClass()
print(c)
# prints:
#   {'my_int': 2, 'my_str': 'hello world'}
