A fluent python object for interfacing with RESTful JSON APIs.

Project description

RestResponse CircleCI PyPi PyPiStats

RestResponse aims to be a fluent python object for interfacing with RESTful JSON APIs

Installation

Add this line to your application's requirements.txt:

RestResponse

And then execute:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Or install it yourself as:

$ pip install RestResponse

Usage

Import RestResponse and call parse on any list, dict, or primitive. You can also call loads on serialized json

>>> import RestResponse
>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users')
>>> users = RestResponse.parse(r.json())
>>> # or
... users = RestResponse.loads(r.text)
>>> for user in users:
...     print user.name

        }
    }
}

Callables

Callable properties will be encoded via cloudpickle and base64 prefixed with __callable__: .

>>> import RestResponse
>>> data = RestResponse.parse({'callable': lambda x: x + 1})
>>> data.callable
<function <lambda> at 0x7f92593de9b0>
>>> data.callable(1)
2

>>> print pretty_str

}
>>> data = RestResponse.loads(pretty_str)
>>> data.callable(1)
2

Binary

Properties detected as binary data will be encoded via base64 prefixed with __binary__: .

>>> import RestResponse
>>> import requests

... 'binary': requests.get('https://cataas.com/cat').content
... })

NoneProp

It should be noted that missing referenced properties, including nested, are gracefully falsey.

>>> import RestResponse
>>> data = RestResponse.parse({})
>>> data.property.is_none
None
>>> bool(data.property.is_none)
False
>>> isinstance(data.property.is_none, RestResponse.NoneProp)
True
>>> 'some data' in data.property.is_none
False
>>> [x for x in data.property.is_none]
[]
>>> data.property.is_none = None
>>> isinstance(data.property.is_none, RestResponse.NoneProp)
False
>>> print data.pretty_print()
{
    "property": {
        "is_none": null
    }
}

SQLAlchemy ORM

RestResponse uses a Mutable mixin provided by SQLAlchemy for interfacing with databases. The following (Flask) snippet should get you started:

from flask import Flask
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from RestResponse.orm.sqlalchemy import RESTResponse


app = Flask(__name__)
db = SQLAlchemy(app)


class SomeModel(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer(), primary_key=True)
    data = db.Column(RESTResponse(), nullable=False)

    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data # data should be json serializable

Data will be saved to the database as a serialized json blob. When data is loaded it will be coerced to the underlying RestResponseObj

ApiModel

Inherit RestResponse.ApiModel to facilitate typing out API models. Please note your properties should NOT start with _. ApiModel._data setter ensures that passed in data conforms to your properties, effectively filtering out underscored properties identified via dir(). Consider the following snippet:

from RestResponse import ApiModel, ApiCollection


class Model(ApiModel):
    def __init__(self, data):
        self._data = data

    # this _foo property will be ignored on init
    @property
    def _foo(self):
        return str(self._data._foo) if self._data._foo

    @_foo.setter
    def _foo(self, _foo):
        self._data._foo = str(_foo)

    @property
    def id(self):
        return int(self._data.id) if self._data.id else None

    @id.setter
    def id(self, id):
        self._data.id = int(id)

    @property
    def reference(self):
        if not self._data.reference:
            self._data.reference = Reference()
        return Reference(self._data.reference)

    @reference.setter
    def reference(self, reference):
        self._data.reference = Reference(reference)

    @property
    def int_collection(self):
        if not self._data.int_collection:
            self._data.int_collection = ApiCollection(int)
        return self._data.int_collection

    @int_collection.setter
    def int_collection(self, int_collection):
        if not self._data.int_collection:
            self._data.int_collection = ApiCollection(int)
        self._data.int_collection.extend([int(x) for x in int_collection])

    @property
    def ref_collection(self):
        if not self._data.ref_collection:
            self._data.ref_collection = ApiCollection(Reference)
        return self._data.ref_collection

    @ref_collection.setter
    def ref_collection(self, ref_collection):
        if not self._data.ref_collection:
            self._data.ref_collection = ApiCollection(Reference)
        self._data.ref_collection.extend([Reference(x) for x in ref_collection])


class Reference(ApiModel):
    def __init__(self, data):
        self._data = data

    @property
    def id(self):
        return int(self._data.id) if self._data.id else None

    @id.setter
    def id(self, id):
        self._data.id = int(id)

Then initialize with RestObject, dict, ApiModel, or serialized JSON

>>> model = Model({
    'id': 5,
    'ref': {
        'id': 5,
        'foo': 'bar'
    },
    'int_collection': [1, 2, 3],
    'ref_collection': [
        {
            'id': 1,
        },
        {
            'id': 2,
        }
    ],
    'foo': 'bar',
    '_foo': '_bar'
})
>>> print model._data.pretty_print()
{
    "int_collection": [
        1,
        2,
        3
    ],
    "ref": {
        "id": 5
    },
    "ref_collection": [
        {
            "id": 1
        },
        {
            "id": 2
        }
    ],
    "id": 5
}
>>> assert '_foo' not in model._data
>>> assert 'foo' not in model._data
>>> assert 'foo' not in model.ref._data
>>> type(model._data)
<class 'RestResponse.objects.RestObject'>

Note: ApiModel will NOT decode/encode binary/callable types by default. You'll need to turn this behavior on by overriding ApiModel.__opts__:

Model.__opts__ = {
    'encode_binary': True,
    'encode_callable': True,
    'decode_binary': True,
    'decode_callable': True
}
