Convert a SqlAlchemy query object to a dict(json)

Install

pip install aljson

Usage

from aljson import BaseMixin

# The Sqlalchemy model
class Parent(Base, BaseMixin):
__tablename__ = 'parent'
id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, primary_key=True, unique=True)
name = sa.Column(sa.String(64))

# query Parent model

print(result.to_json())

Full example

from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker, relationship, backref
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from aljson import BaseMixin
mport sqlalchemy as sa

Base = declarative_base()


class Parent(Base, BaseMixin):
    __tablename__ = 'parent'
    id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, primary_key=True, unique=True)
    name = sa.Column(sa.String(64))


class Child(Base, BaseMixin):
    __tablename__ = 'child'
    id = sa.Column(sa.Integer,  primary_key=True, unique=True)
    name = sa.Column(sa.String(64))
    parent_id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, sa.ForeignKey('parent.id'))
    parent = relationship("Parent")


# Create an engine that stores data in the local directory's
# sqlalchemy_example.db file.
engine = sa.create_engine('sqlite:///my_database.sqlite')

# Create all tables in the engine. This is equivalent to "Create Table"
# statements in raw SQL.
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

DBSession = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = DBSession()


# Create a new parent and a child
new_parent = Parent()
new_parent.name = "parent_1"

new_child = Child()
new_child.name = "child_1"
new_child.parent = new_parent

session.add(new_parent)
session.add(new_child)

session.commit()

# Search for a row
query_result = session.query(Child).first()


# And you can call .to_json
print(query_result.to_json())

# The result should be like this:
# {'id': 1, 'name': 'child_1', 'parent_id': 1, 'parent': {'id': 1, 'name': 'parent_1'}}
