fluent-async

Overview

fluent-async is a Python library that enables fluent-style chaining of asynchronous methods and supports @async_property and @async_cached_property without requiring explicit await statements at each step. It simplifies working with asynchronous classes and methods by eliminating deep nesting of await expressions.

In other words:

async def example():
    await (await (await (await StyleBuilder().gray()).bold()).underline()).as_posix_style

Becomes:

async def example():
    await StyleBuilder().gray().bold().underline().as_posix_style

Features

• Fluent API for Async Methods: Chain async methods seamlessly without manually awaiting each step.
• Automatic Handling of Async Properties: Access @async_property attributes without explicit await.
• Enhanced Debugging: Provides clear execution traces in __repr__ for better debugging.

Installation

pip install fluent-async

poetry add fluent-async

Usage

Basic Example

import asyncio
from async_property import async_property
from fluent_async import fluent

from typing import cast, Callable, Self


class Arithmetic:
    def __init__(self, value: int):
        self.value = value

    @fluent
    async def increment(self) -> Self:
        self.value += 1
        return self

    increment = cast(Callable[..., Self], increment)

    @fluent
    async def double(self) -> Self:
        self.value *= 2
        return self

    double = cast(Callable[..., Self], double)

    @async_property
    async def async_value(self) -> int:
        return self.value


async def main():
    result = await Arithmetic(1).increment().double().async_value
    print(result)  # Expected output: (1+1) * 2 = 4


asyncio.run(main())

How It Works

@fluent Decorator

• Wraps an async method to allow fluent chaining.
• Ensures returned values are wrapped in a Fluent instance.

Fluent Class

• Implements __getattr__ to support accessing async properties.
• Implements __call__ to handle method calls.
• Overrides __await__ to return awaited values correctly.
