async-property 0.2.2

Install

To install async_property, run this command in your terminal:

$ pip install async-property

Or if you have pipenv:

$ pipenv install async-property

Usage

You can use @async_property just as you would with @property, but on an async function.

class Foo:
    @async_property
    async def remote_value(self):
        return await get_remote_value()

The property remote_value now returns an awaitable coroutine.

instance = Foo()
await instance.remote_value

class Foo:
    @async_cached_property
    async def value(self):
        print('loading value')
        return 123

>>> instance = Foo()
>>> instance.value
<AwaitableOnly "Foo.value">

>>> await instance.value
loading value
123
>>> await instance.value
123
>>> instance.value
123

>>> instance.value = 'abc'
>>> instance.value
'abc'
>>> await instance.value
'abc'

>>> del instance.value
>>> await instance.value
loading value
123

class Foo(AwaitLoader):
    async def load(self):
        print('load called')

    @async_cached_property
    async def db_lookup(self):
        return 'success'

    @async_cached_property
    async def api_call(self):
        print('calling api')
        return 'works every time'

>>> instance = await Foo()
load called
calling api
>>> instance.db_lookup
'success'
>>> instance.api_call
'works every time'

Features

• Both regular and cached property.

• Cached properties can be accessed multiple times without repeating function call.

• Uses asyncio.Lock to ensure cached functions are called only once.

• Full test coverage with py.test
