class-to-dot 0.1.0

A class that extends a class into a dictionary like object whose members can be accessed by dot notation.

Class to Dot Extender

This is a class extender that can be used to manage constants similar to dictionary. The difference is that the members can be accessed through dot notation. Also, you do not need to add @dataclass(froze=True) decorator to your class. You can also iterate through the members of the class.

Example

Suppose that you are dealing with a list of DataFrame columns that must be standardized throughout the project. You can store these values in a class that is extended by class_to_dot Constants class.

from class_to_dot import Constants
import pandas as pd

class DataColumns(Constants):
    COLUMN_ONE = "column_one"
    COLUMN_TWO = "column_two"
    COLUMN_THREE = "column_three"

df = pd.DataFrame({
        DataColumns.COLUMN_ONE : [1,2,3],
        DataColumns.COLUMN_TWO: [4, 5, 6], 
        DataColumns.COLUMN_THREE: [7, 8, 9], 
    })

for column in list(DataColumns):
    print(df[column].sum())
