Pydantic base models for Firestore

Firedantic

Database models for Firestore using Pydantic base models.

Installation

The package is available on PyPi:

pip install firedantic

Usage

In your application you will need to configure the firestore db client and optionally the collection prefix, which by default is empty.

from os import environ
from unittest.mock import Mock

import google.auth.credentials
from firedantic import configure
from google.cloud.firestore import Client

# Firestore emulator must be running if using locally.
if environ.get("FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST"):
    client = Client(
        project="firedantic-test",
        credentials=Mock(spec=google.auth.credentials.Credentials)
    )
else:
    client = Client()

configure(client, prefix="firedantic-test-")

Once that is done, you can start defining your Pydantic models, e.g:

from pydantic import BaseModel

from firedantic import Model

class Owner(BaseModel):
    """Dummy owner Pydantic model."""
    first_name: str
    last_name: str


class Company(Model):
    """Dummy company Firedantic model."""
    __collection__ = "companies"
    company_id: str
    owner: Owner

# Now you can use the model to save it to Firestore
owner = Owner(first_name="John", last_name="Doe")
company = Company(company_id="1234567-8", owner=owner)
company.save()

# Prints out the firestore ID of the Company model
print(company.id)

Querying is done via a MongoDB-like find():

from firedantic import Model
import firedantic.operators as op

class Product(Model):
    __collection__ = "products"
    product_id: str
    stock: int


Product.find({"product_id": "abc-123"})
Product.find({"stock": {">=": 3}})
# or
Product.find({"stock": {op.GTE: 3}})

The query operators are found at https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/query-data/queries#query_operators.

Async usage

Firedantic can also be used in an async way, like this:

import asyncio
from os import environ
from unittest.mock import Mock

import google.auth.credentials
from google.cloud.firestore import AsyncClient

from firedantic import AsyncModel, configure

# Firestore emulator must be running if using locally.
if environ.get("FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST"):
    client = AsyncClient(
        project="firedantic-test",
        credentials=Mock(spec=google.auth.credentials.Credentials),
    )
else:
    client = AsyncClient()

configure(client, prefix="firedantic-test-")


class Person(AsyncModel):
    __collection__ = "persons"
    name: str


async def main():
    alice = Person(name="Alice")
    await alice.save()
    print(f"Saved Alice as {alice.id}")
    bob = Person(name="Bob")
    await bob.save()
    print(f"Saved Bob as {bob.id}")

    found_alice = await Person.find_one({"name": "Alice"})
    print(f"Found Alice: {found_alice.id}")
    assert alice.id == found_alice.id

    found_bob = await Person.get_by_id(bob.id)
    assert bob.id == found_bob.id
    print(f"Found Bob: {found_bob.id}")

    await alice.delete()
    print("Deleted Alice")
    await bob.delete()
    print("Deleted Bob")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Starting from Python 3.7 ->
    # asyncio.run(main())

    # Compatible with Python 3.6 ->
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    result = loop.run_until_complete(main())

Subcollections

Subcollections in Firestore are basically dynamically named collections.

Firedantic supports them via the SubCollection and SubModel classes, by creating dynamic classes with collection name determined based on the "parent" class it is in reference to using the model_for() method.

from typing import Optional, Type

from firedantic import AsyncModel, AsyncSubCollection, AsyncSubModel, ModelNotFoundError


class UserStats(AsyncSubModel):
    id: Optional[str]
    purchases: int = 0

    class Collection(AsyncSubCollection):
        # Can use any properties of the "parent" model
        __collection_tpl__ = "users/{id}/stats"


class User(AsyncModel):
    __collection__ = "users"
    name: str


async def get_user_purchases(user_id: str, period: str = "2021") -> int:
    user = await User.get_by_id(user_id)
    stats_model: Type[UserStats] = UserStats.model_for(user)
    try:
        stats = await stats_model.get_by_id(period)
    except ModelNotFoundError:
        stats = stats_model()
    return stats.purchases

Development

PRs are welcome!

To run tests locally, you should run:

poetry install
poetry run invoke test

About sync and async versions of library

Although this library provides both sync and async versions of models, please keep in mind that you need to explicitly maintain only async version of it. The synchronous version is generated automatically by invoke task:

poetry run invoke unasync

We decided to go this way in order to:

• make sure both versions have the same API
• reduce human error factor
• avoid working on two code bases at the same time to reduce maintenance effort

Thus, please make sure you don't modify any of files under firedantic/_sync and firedantic/tests/tests_sync by hands. unasync is also running as part of pre-commit hooks, but in order to run the latest version of tests you have to run it manually.
