Schema Sprout connects to a third-party database to dynamically create models and views.

Project description

Django Schema Sprout

Tests Status Coverage Status Flake8 Status

Django Schema Sprout is a django package that helps with generating models, serializers and views dynamically for unmanaged databases. Currently Django Schema Sprout supports only PostgreSQL (>=11.), Django (>=4.0, <5.0)

Installation

To install Django Schema Sprout, you can run:

pip install django-schema-sprout

Usage

Settings.py

Add django_schema_sprout in installed apps in your settings.py and add SchemaSproutDBRouter to your database routers.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # django_schema_sprout requires rest_framework and drf_yasg to be installed.
    "rest_framework",
    "drf_yasg",
    ...
     "django_schema_sprout"
]
...

DATABASE_ROUTERS = [
    ...,
    "django_schema_sprout.router.SchemaSproutDBRouter",
]

Initializing SchemaSprout

from django_schema_sprout.schema_sprout import SchemaSprout

my_db_sprout = SchemaSprout("name_of_unmanaged_db")

SchemaSprout is Singleton based on parameters so initializing SchemaSprout with same database name will return same instance.

Creating models

You can either create all models at once using create_models.

create_models takes one parameter:

  • readonly bool (default: False), specifying if created REST ViewSets should be readonly or not.
my_db_sprout.create_models(readonly=True)

To create one model at the time use create_model.

create_model takes 3 parameter:

  • table_name - str, name of the table for which you want to create model.
  • table_nspname - str, schema where the table resides.
  • readonly bool (default: False), specifying if created REST ViewSet should be readonly or not.
my_db_sprout.create_model(
    table_name="my_table"
    table_nspname="my_schema"
    readonly=False
)

Including SchemaSprout ViewSets

In url.py file, include urls from SchemaSprout.router. Make sure that the models that you need were created before.

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, re_path, include
...

from django_schema_sprout.schema_sprout import SchemaSprout


urlpatterns = [
    ...,
    path("api/", include(SchemaSprout("name_of_unmanaged_db").router.urls)),
    ...
]

Accessing created models

You can access created models, serializers and views by accessing SchemaSprout attributes:

table_name = "my_table"
schema_name = "my_schema"

obj_key = f"{schema_name}_{table_name}"

my_model = my_db_sprout.models.get(obj_key, None)

my_model_serializer = my_db_sprout.serializers.get(obj_key, None)

my_model_view = my_db_sprout.views.get(obj_key, None)
