alchemyjsonschema 0.6.0

mapping jsonschema for sqlalchemy models

features

alchemyjsonschema is the library for converting sqlalchemys’s model to jsonschema.

• using alchemyjsonschema as command
• using alchemyjsonschema as library

as library

having three output styles.

• NoForeignKeyWalker – ignore relationships
• ForeignKeyWalker – expecting the information about relationship is foreign key
• StructuralWalker – fullset output(expecting the information about relationship is full JSON data)

examples

dumping json with above three output styles.

target models are here. Group and User.

as command

using alchemyjsonschema as command (the command name is also alchemyjsonschema).

help

$ alchemyjsonschema --help
usage: alchemyjsonschema [-h] [--walker {noforeignkey,foreignkey,structural}]
                         [--decision {default,fullset}] [--depth DEPTH]
                         [--out OUT]
                         target

positional arguments:
  target                the module or class to extract schemas from

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --walker {noforeignkey,foreignkey,structural}
  --decision {default,fullset}
  --depth DEPTH
  --out OUT             output to file

If above two model definitions (User,Group) are existed in alchemyjsonschema.tests.models .

Target is the class position or module position. for example,

• class position – alchemyjsonschema.tests.models:User
• module position – alchemyjsonschema.tests.models

example

Using StructuralWalker via command line (–walker structural). Of course, NoForeignKeyWalker is noforeignkey, and ForeignKeyWalker is foreignkey.

$ alchemyjsonschema --walker structural alchemyjsonschema.tests.models:Group

  "definitions": {
    "Group": {

  }
}

Output is not same when using Walker-class, directly. This is handy output for something like a swagger(OpenAPI 2.0)’s tool.

appendix: what is –decision ?

what is –decision? (TODO: gentle description)
