MakeFlatt

Simple library to make your dictionary flatten in Python

Installation

pip install makeflatt

Usage

Quick start:

>>> from makeflatt import FlattMaker
>>> mf = FlattMaker()
>>> mf.apply({"a": {"b": {"c": "test"}}})
{'a.b.c': 'test'}

Make nested structured flatten:

>>> mf.apply({"a": {"b": ["b1", "b2", "b3"]}})
{'a.b.0': 'b1', 'a.b.1': 'b2', 'a.b.2': 'b3'}

If you don't wan't to expand nested lists you can set include_lists to False:

>>> mf.apply({"a": {"b": ["b1", "b2", "b3"]}}, include_lists=False)
{'a.b': ['b1', 'b2', 'b3']}

You can also change the separator and define your own:

>>> mf = FlattMaker(sep=":")
>>> mf.apply({"a": {"b": ["b1", "b2", "b3"]}})
{'a:b:0': 'b1', 'a:b:1': 'b2', 'a:b:2': 'b3'}
