faux-sures 0.0.3

Faux Sures: The REPL object manager for ProtoTyping domain logic with objects and relations. For Python.

Faux Sures provides a heavily typed system with immediate validation checks to provide a tactile experience while exploring complex domain logic. Faux Sures is designed for use in a python shell, a notebook, or a short script. The self evaluating Fields system triggers everytime you set an attribute on a model, giving you guardrails while you play around with data. All while encapsulating logic in the Model definition itself

Current Development:

• This package is still in its infancy see below for current issues
• Github Issues is used for reporting both Bugs and requesting Features
• Current development is limiting the traceback printout to a single line

Examples:

Why you might like Faux Sure

• You like working with Jupyter Notebooks and Ipython
• You are more concerned with solving the domain logic than writing optimized code
• You appreciate the security of a strongly typed system
• You write short scripts over a common memory resource with complex logic
• You like objects and have an imperative mood. But are afraid of regressions
• You are preoccupied with correctness and human understanding. The final solution can wait.

Why Faux Sure might not be right for you

• You've already got the domain logic figured out completely
• You find strong typing difficult to work with.
• You care about performance. You care about memory overhead.
• You already have a database connected with Check statements
• You'd rather not have code with Side Effects.

Features

• Field validation by types or validator functions
• Patterns for currying and composing validator functions
• Object relations via higher order types. Validator functions for high order types
• Validator fields for more complex checks such as Unique Together
• Model level checks at commit time
• Domain wide checks at commit time
• Single Class Session which enables state tracking between discrete steps

Installation

pip install faux-sures==0.0.1

Issues and Contributing:

• Please Help by opening issues and bugs in Issues. For now the Issues page is the project board.
• If you'd like to contribute code, please open a PR. There is a requirement to pass code quality checks.
• Current line of progress is limiting the traceback as a default option.
• Second line of progress is adding more tests and "Story" tests which stress the interactions between
• Third line of progress is making Object Relations more ergonomic.
