+    a mapped property or Declarative directive.
+
+    :class:`_orm.declared_attr` is typically applied as a decorator to a class
+    level method, turning the attribute into a scalar-like property that can be
+    invoked from the uninstantiated class. The Declarative mapping process
+    looks for these :class:`_orm.declared_attr` callables as it scans classes,
+    and assumes any attribute marked with :class:`_orm.declared_attr` will be a
+    callable that will produce an object specific to the Declarative mapping or
+    table configuration.
+
+    :class:`_orm.declared_attr` is usually applicable to
+    :ref:`mixins <orm_mixins_toplevel>`, to define relationships that are to be
+    applied to different implementors of the class. It may also be used to
+    define dynamically generated column expressions and other Declarative
+    attributes.
+
+    Example::
+
+        class ProvidesUserMixin:
+            "A mixin that adds a 'user' relationship to classes."
+
+            user_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("user_table.id"))
+
+            @declared_attr
+            def user(cls) -> Mapped["User"]:
+                return relationship("User")
+
+    When used with Declarative directives such as ``__tablename__``, the
+    :meth:`_orm.declared_attr.directive` modifier may be used which indicates
+    to :pep:`484` typing tools that the given method is not dealing with
+    :class:`_orm.Mapped` attributes::
+
+        class CreateTableName:
+            @declared_attr.directive
+            def __tablename__(cls) -> str:
+                return cls.__name__.lower()
+
+    :class:`_orm.declared_attr` can also be applied directly to mapped
+    classes, to allow for attributes that dynamically configure themselves
+    on subclasses when using mapped inheritance schemes.   Below
+    illustrates :class:`_orm.declared_attr` to create a dynamic scheme
+    for generating the :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.polymorphic_identity` parameter
+    for subclasses::
+
+        class Employee(Base):
+            __tablename__ = "employee"
+
+            id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
+            type: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(50))
+
+            @declared_attr.directive
+            def __mapper_args__(cls) -> Dict[str, Any]:
+                if cls.__name__ == "Employee":
+                    return {
+                        "polymorphic_on": cls.type,
+                        "polymorphic_identity": "Employee",
+                    }
+                else:
+                    return {"polymorphic_identity": cls.__name__}
+
+
+        class Engineer(Employee):
+            pass
+
+    :class:`_orm.declared_attr` supports decorating functions that are
+    explicitly decorated with ``@classmethod``. This is never necessary from a
+    runtime perspective, however may be needed in order to support :pep:`484`
+    typing tools that don't otherwise recognize the decorated function as
+    having class-level behaviors for the ``cls`` parameter::
+
+        class SomethingMixin:
+            x: Mapped[int]
+            y: Mapped[int]
+
+            @declared_attr
+            @classmethod
+            def x_plus_y(cls) -> Mapped[int]:
+                return column_property(cls.x + cls.y)
+
+    .. versionadded:: 2.0 - :class:`_orm.declared_attr` can accommodate a

+       integration where needed.

+
+    **__init__ behavior**
+
+    In a plain Python class, the base-most ``__init__()`` method in the class
+    hierarchy is ``object.__init__()``, which accepts no arguments. However,
+    when the :class:`_orm.DeclarativeBase` subclass is first declared, the
+    class is given an ``__init__()`` method that links to the
+    :paramref:`_orm.registry.constructor` constructor function, if no
+    ``__init__()`` method is already present; this is the usual declarative
+    constructor that will assign keyword arguments as attributes on the
+    instance, assuming those attributes are established at the class level
+    (i.e. are mapped, or are linked to a descriptor). This constructor is
+    **never accessed by a mapped class without being called explicitly via
+    super()**, as mapped classes are themselves given an ``__init__()`` method
+    directly which calls :paramref:`_orm.registry.constructor`, so in the
+    default case works independently of what the base-most ``__init__()``
+    method does.
+
+    .. versionchanged:: 2.0.1  :class:`_orm.DeclarativeBase` has a default
+       constructor that links to :paramref:`_orm.registry.constructor` by
+       default, so that calls to ``super().__init__()`` can access this
+       constructor. Previously, due to an implementation mistake, this default
+       constructor was missing, and calling ``super().__init__()`` would invoke
+       ``object.__init__()``.
+
+    The :class:`_orm.DeclarativeBase` subclass may also declare an explicit
+    ``__init__()`` method which will replace the use of the
+    :paramref:`_orm.registry.constructor` function at this level::
+
+        class Base(DeclarativeBase):
+            def __init__(self, id=None):
+                self.id = id
+
+    Mapped classes still will not invoke this constructor implicitly; it
+    remains only accessible by calling ``super().__init__()``::
+
+        class MyClass(Base):
+            def __init__(self, id=None, name=None):
+                self.name = name
+                super().__init__(id=id)
+
+    Note that this is a different behavior from what functions like the legacy
+    :func:`_orm.declarative_base` would do; the base created by those functions
+    would always install :paramref:`_orm.registry.constructor` for
+    ``__init__()``.

+
+    * :meth:`_orm.registry.map_imperatively` will produce a

+    To create unmapped dataclass mixins when using a class hierarchy defined

+    :class:`.MappedAsDataclass` class may be subclassed alone for a similar
