pandera.api.pyspark.container.DataFrameSchema.to_structtype

DataFrameSchema.to_structtype()[source]

Recover fields of DataFrameSchema as a Pyspark StructType object.

As the output of this method will be used to specify a read schema in Pyspark

(avoiding automatic schema inference), the False nullable properties are just ignored, as this check will be executed by the Pandera validations after a dataset is read.

Return type:

StructType

Returns:

StructType object with current schema fields.
