 ### Example with fully custom type
 
-In this example scalar is represented as class `TypeB`. Pydantic can\`t handle serialization and deserialization so custom `parse` and `serialize` is necessary. To provide `type`, `parse` and `serialize` implementation we can use `files_to_include` to copy `type_b.py` file.
