bovine-store 0.5.0

Store for ActivityPub activities, actors and objects

bovine_store

bovine_store is meant to be the module handling storing of local ActivityPub objects and caching of remote ActivityPub objects.

Usage

bovine_store assumes that a database connection is initialized using tortoise-orm. See examples/basic_app.py for how to do this in the context of a quart app.

TODO

• When properties of actor are updated, send an update Activity
  • Doesn't fit into the current bovine framework ... bovine_store doesn't know how to send activities
• Generally rework the actor properties mechanism. It is currently not possible to emulate say Mastodon featured collection with it.
• bovine_store.models.BovineActorKeyPair needs renamings; and work, e.g. a future identity column should have a uniqueness constraint.
• Generally the code quality is not as high as it should be.

Examples

A demonstration webserver can be seen using

poetry run python examples/basic_app.py

Note this is a very basic example. Instructions what the example does are printed to the command line after start.

Note: This example creates two files db.sqlite3, which contains the database and context_cache.sqlite, which contains the cache of json-ld contexts.

Running tests

For sqlite3

poetry run pytest

For postgres

BOVINE_DB_URL=postgres://postgres:secret@postgres:5432/postgres poetry run pytest
