sqlalchemy-modelgen

Create sqlalchemy python model files by defining tables and columns in a yaml file or by specifying database url

Installation

pip install alchemy-modelgen

Usage

1. Initialize modelgen folder:

modelgen init -d /path/to/YOUR_FOLDER
cd /path/to/YOUR_FOLDER



2. Create sqlalchemy model code from:

(Option 1) yaml template:

For details on how to write the yaml file, please follow docs

modelgen createmodel --source yaml --path templates/example.yaml --alembic # path to your schema yaml file 

(Option 2) existing database:

modelgen createmodel --source database --path mysql+mysqlconnector://root:example@localhost:3306/modelgen --outfile models/YOUR_FILENAME.py --alembic



3. Running alembic migrations:

modelgen migrate revision --autogenerate -m "COMMIT_MESSAGE" -p mysql+mysqlconnector://root:example@localhost:3306/modelgen

modelgen migrate upgrade head -p mysql+mysqlconnector://root:example@localhost:3306/modelgen

The arguments passed after modelgen migrate are based on alembic. Any command true for alembic can be used with modelgen migrate.

The database url can be passed using -p or --path argument, or can be set in the environment by the env var DATABASE_URI. If DATABASE_URI is set, -p or --path will be ignored



4. Alter table support:
• Change column type, length, add contraint, etc in the yaml file. Then run:

modelgen createmodel --source yaml --path templates/example.yaml --alembic
modelgen migrate revision --autogenerate -m "COMMIT_MESSAGE" -p mysql+mysqlconnector://root:example@localhost:3306/modelgen

modelgen migrate upgrade head -p mysql+mysqlconnector://root:example@localhost:3306/modelgen
