Usage Examples

Creating a Model

from cotlette.db import Model, fields

class Article(Model):
    title = fields.CharField(max_length=200)
    content = fields.TextField()
    published_at = fields.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

Creating a View

from fastapi import APIRouter
from cotlette.shortcuts import render_template

from .models import Article


router = APIRouter()

@router.get("/")
async def home():
    articles = await Article.objects.all()
    return render_template("index.html", {"articles": articles})

Working with the ORM

# Creating a record
article = await Article.objects.create(title="Hello World", content="This is a test article.")

# Fetching all records
articles = await Article.objects.all()

# Filtering records
published_articles = await Article.objects.filter(published_at__isnull=False)
