is_subclass_schema

Returns a schema that checks if a value is a subtype of a class, equivalent to python's issubclass method, e.g.:

from pydantic_core import SchemaValidator, core_schema

class A:
    pass

class B(A):
    pass

schema = core_schema.is_subclass_schema(cls=A)
v = SchemaValidator(schema)
v.validate_python(B)

def is_subclass_schema(
    cls: type[Any],
    cls_repr: str | None = None,
    ref: str | None = None,
    metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    serialization: SerSchema | None = None
) - > IsInstanceSchema

Returns a schema that checks if a value is a subtype of a class, equivalent to python's issubclass method.
