+        Each of the ``CustomerModel`` classes defined in this example will now
+        behave similarly to a dataclass created with the ``@dataclasses.dataclass``
+        decorator. For example, the type checker will synthesize an ``__init__``
+        method.
+
+        The arguments to this decorator can be used to customize this behavior:
+        - ``eq_default`` indicates whether the ``eq`` parameter is assumed to be
+          True or False if it is omitted by the caller.
+        - ``order_default`` indicates whether the ``order`` parameter is
+          assumed to be True or False if it is omitted by the caller.
+        - ``kw_only_default`` indicates whether the ``kw_only`` parameter is
+          assumed to be True or False if it is omitted by the caller.
+        - ``field_descriptors`` specifies a static list of supported classes
+          or functions, that describe fields, similar to ``dataclasses.field()``.
+
+        At runtime, this decorator records its arguments in the
+        ``__dataclass_transform__`` attribute on the decorated object.
+
+        See PEP 681 for details.
