AttributeError: 'Blog' object has no attribute 'items' - FastAPI

I am trying to update a single record in the database by using the PUT operation in FastAPI. But for some reason, I keep getting this error. All other operations work fine except this one. The error is only raised for the update query.

AttributeError: 'Blog' object has no attribute 'items'

Here is the relevant code.

def get_db():
    db = SessionLocal()
    try:
        yield db
    finally:
        db.close()

class Blog(BaseModel):
    title: str
    body: str

@app.put('/blog/{id}', status_code=status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT, response_class=Response)
def update(id: int, request: schemas.Blog, db: Session = Depends(get_db)):
    blog = db.query(models.Blog).filter(models.Blog.id == id)
    if not blog.first():
        raise HTTPException(status_code=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND,
                            detail=f'Blog with id {id} not found')
    blog.update(request)
    db.commit()

This is the StackTrace:

This worked for me... the update function wanted to update each part of the object, and so each part must be mentioned. I'm not certain how Bitfumes managed by calling the request object alone.

blog.update({'title': request.title, 'body': request.body})

EDITED: Referring the to the request dictionary works too:

blog.update(request.dict())
