Experimental Arches Object Relational Mapper

Project description

(Unofficial) Arches ORM [EXPERIMENTAL]

This provides simple (server-side) access to Arches resources from Python as Python objects. It makes no guarantees about efficiency or type-accuracy but such issues raised will be addressed as far as possible.

Well-known Resource Models

To provide a partial boundary, this package expects a settings object called WELL_KNOWN_RESOURCE_MODELS to list, at least, the models that should be wrapped by this system.

It should be a list:

WELL_KNOWN_RESOURCE_MODELS = [
    {
        "model_name": "Person",
        "graphid": "4110f743-1a44-11e9-9a37-000d3ab1e500",
        "nodes": {}, # optional additional configuration
        "to_string": lambda wkrm: str(wkrm) # optional callback for stringifying
    }
]

You must not take this list as an exclusive boundary of data that can be accessed.

Hooks

This package also contains experimental functionality for hooking tile saves, so that client code can use the MyModel.post_save signal to get well-known resource model events. To avoid any unintended overhead, it does not load unless explicitly turned on with arches_orm.add_hooks().

Tests

Note that the tests require spatialite and so a Python that allows Sqlite3 extension loading:

PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions" pyenv install 3.10.10

Documentation

Documentation is generated using pdocs but, as the arches_django subpackage expects a running Arches instance to be importable (a side-effect of Django), we add an initialization routine.

python docs/make_doc.py

Thanks

Particular thanks to the funders of this work, and to the Arches community for their work on which this builds. Particular thanks to Historic England's team for the underlying resource models used in the test-cases.
