Firebase ORM Python

Django like models for NoSQL database Firestore.

---

Installation

$ pip install firebase_orm

Initialize

Create settings.py in the root directory of the project:

settings.py

CERTIFICATE = 'path/to/serviceAccountKey.json'
BUCKET_NAME = '<BUCKET_NAME>.appspot.com'

CERTIFICATE

Once you have created a Firebase console project and downloaded a JSON file with your service account credentials.

BUCKET_NAME

The bucket name must not contain gs:// or any other protocol prefixes. For example, if the bucket URL displayed in the Firebase console is gs://bucket-name.appspot.com, pass the string bucket-name.appspot.com

Usage

Create model:

from firebase_orm import models


class Article(models.Model):
    headline = models.CharField()
    type_article = models.CharField(db_column='type')

    class Meta:
        db_table = 'medications'

    def __str__(self):
        return self.headline

Use API:

# Import the models we created
>>> from models import Article

# Create a new Article.
>>> a = Article(headline='Django is cool')

# Save the object into the database. You have to call save() explicitly.
>>> a.save()

# Now it has an ID.
>>> a.id
1

# Fields are represented as attributes on the Python object.
>>> a.headline
'Django is cool'

# Firebase ORM provides a rich database lookup API.
>>> Article.objects.get(id=1)
<Article: Django is cool>
>>> Article.objects.get(id=2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
DoesNotExist: Article matching query does not exist.
