half-orm-dev 0.16.0a5

half_orm development Framework.

halfORM packager (early alpha stage)

📢 Project Evolution Notice

halfORM_dev is being redesigned to integrate with halfORM 0.16's new extension system.

This project will be refactored as half-orm-dev to provide development tools through the unified half_orm CLI interface. The core functionality (project management, database patches, code generation) will remain the same, but the integration and command structure will be modernized.

Current Status:

• halfORM core 0.16 with extension is about to be released
• halfORM_dev refactoring will start soon
• New half-orm-dev extension planned for Q3 2025

What's Changing:

• Commands will integrate with half_orm dev instead of standalone hop
• Extension auto-discovery and security model
• Simplified installation and configuration
• Consistent CLI experience across all halfORM tools

For Current Users: The existing halfORM_dev will continue to work as-is. The new extension will provide a migration path when ready.

Stay Updated: Follow progress in halfORM Discussions and halfORM Issues.

THIS DOC IS A WORK IN PROGRESS...

This package allows you to patch/test a PostgreSQL model and its associated Python code using the hop command.

It is based on the half_orm PostgreSQL → Python relation object mapper.

Installation

Run pip install half_orm_dev.

help

$ hop --help
Usage: hop [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Generates/Synchronises/Patches a python package from a PostgreSQL database

Options:
  -v, --version
  --help         Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  new     Creates a new hop project named <package_name>.
  patch   Applies the next patch
  test    Tests some common pitfalls.
  update  Updates the Python code with the changes made to the model.

Create a new package for your database: hop new

hop new <package name>

WARNING! The hop new command will add to your database two new schemas: half_orm_meta and "half_orm_meta.view". The table half_orm_meta.release will containt the patch history of your model (see hop patch bellow).

$ hop new pagila
HALFORM_CONF_DIR: /home/joel/.halform
Using '/home/joel/.halform/pagila' file for connexion.
Initializing git with a 'main' branch.
Initializing the patch system for the 'pagila' database.
Patch system initialized at release '0.0.0'.

The hop project 'pagila' has been created.

The tree command shows you the repartition of the modules in your package.

You will now be able to manage your package with the hop command.

Get the status of your package: hop

$ hop 
STATUS

        connection_file_name: pagila
        package_name: pagila
        
CURRENT RELEASE: 0.0.0: 2021-09-03 at 11:54:22+02:00
No new release to apply after 0.0.0.
Next possible releases: 0.0.1, 0.1.0, 1.0.0.
hop --help to get help.

Patch your model: hop patch

$ hop patch
No new release to apply after 0.0.0.
Next possible releases: 0.0.1, 0.1.0, 1.0.0.

The patch system will try to find a next suitable patch to apply from the last release number. If the last patch is X.Y.Z, hop patch will try in order X.Y.<Z+1>, X.<Y+1>.Z, <X+1>.Y.Z.

To prepare a new patch, run hop patch -p <patch_level> where patch_level is one of ['patch', 'minor', 'major']. The command will create a directory in Patches/X/Y/Z with a CHANGELOG.md description file. You can add in this directory a series of patches scripts. The scripts are applied in alphabetical order and can only be of two types:

• SQL with .sql extension
• Python with .py extension

If there is a suitable patch to apply, hop will create a branch hop_<release>, backup the database in Backups/<dbname>-<release>.sql, apply the patch and update the Python code.

In development, you will frequently need to adjust a patch. To replay a patch, simply run hop patch again.

To revert to the previous patch run hop patch -r. If your git repo is not clean, hop patch will complain. You can use hop patch -f to avoid the warning.

You can use git as you wish during this phase.

Generate a release (CI): hop release NotImplented

• hop release -a for alpha
• hop release -c for release candidate
• hop release -p for production

Test your code

Each hop patch should test and report any error.

The package is test ready. For each module there is a test
