Details

Matchbox is a Python Object-Relational Mapper for Google Firestore. It is in development.

Installing

 pip install matchbox-orm

Usage

Connect to Firestore

More info, how to generate JSON file with private key you will find on Get started with Cloud Firestore

from matchbox import database

database.db_initialization('path/to/serviceAccount.json')

Model

Create

from matchbox import models

class Test(models.Model):
    age = models.IntegerField()
    name = models.TextField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> t = Test()
>> print(t)
<Test: e7aad1ec1aa449d2b53b7ca8f2853ea0>

By default all fields are required (except IDField, ReferenceField). This behavior can be change using attributes blank or default.

If we now save model we get:

>> t.save()
AttributeError: Field age required value
>> t.age = 18
>> t.save()
AttributeError: Field name required value
>> t.name = 'Name'
>> t.save()

Another way to create model is use manager create method:

>> Test.objects.create(name='Test', age=29)
<Test: 33eba5fd53244e38aa1b4951f104ec3c>

By default collection name in DB will be create based on model name. If you want to change it, you can do it using Meta. For example:

from matchbox import models

class Test(models.Model):
    age = models.IntegerField()
    name = models.TextField()

    class Meta:
        collection_name = 'TestCollection'

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> Test._meta.collection_name
'TestCollection'

Update

Document can be update by two ways: override or update. Example below will override whole document:

>> t = Test.objects.get(id='eba5fd53244e38aa1b4951f104ec3c')
>> t.age = 53
>> t.save()

If we want update only specific fields, we can use update_fields parameter in save method:

>> t = Test.objects.get(id='eba5fd53244e38aa1b4951f104ec3c')
>> t.age = 32
>> t.save(update_fields=['age'])

Fields

Available fields:

• IDField
• IntegerField
• TextField
• TimeStampField
• BooleanField
• ListField
• MapField
• GeoPointField
• ReferenceField

Attributes

Available attributes for all fields:

• blank (If True empty fields will save null in DB.)
• default (If field is empty, on the save, default value will be used. If default value callable it will be called)
• column_name (Name of field in DB. If empty, name of field will be used)

TextField accept on more attribute max-length.

class Test2(models.Model):
    age = models.IntegerField(default=25)
    name = models.TextField(blank=True)

>> t = Test2()
>> t.save()
>> t = Test2.objects.get(id=t.id)
>> print(t.age, t.name)
25 None

IDField

IDField is create automatically by orm. We can't add own, because Firestore doesn't allow for self named id field.

>> t._meta.fields
{
    'age': <matchbox.models.fields.IntegerField at 0x111723f98>,
    'name': <matchbox.models.fields.TextField at 0x111723b70>,
    'id': <matchbox.models.fields.IDField at 0x1117232b0>
}

If you want you can specify your own id:

>> t = Test(age=33, name='test', id='My OWN ID')
>> t.save()
>> t.id
'My OWN ID'

If you change id and save, new document will be create in Firestore.

TimeStampField

class TimeStampFieldExample(models.Model):
    datetimestamp = models.TimeStampField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> TimeStampFieldExample.objects.create(datetimestamp=datetime.datetime.now())
<TimeStampFieldExample: xp4LHczLwzcpC8Q4yF5s>

>> list(TimeStampFieldExample.objects.filter(datetimestamp__lte=datetime.datetime.now()))
[<TimeStampFieldExample: xp4LHczLwzcpC8Q4yF5s>]

>> TimeStampFieldExample.objects.filter(datetimestamp__lte=datetime.datetime.now()).get().datetimestamp
datetime.datetime(2019, 5, 4, 16, 42, 34, 583953, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(0), '+00:00'))

TimeStampField with callable default

class DefaultTimeStampFieldExample(models.Model):
    created_at = models.TimeStampField(default=datetime.datetime.now)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> tsf = TimeStampFieldExample.objects.create()
>> print(tsf)
<DefaultTimeStampFieldExample: wqAVap5rYW7Zl0cgO9UI>

>> print(tsf.created_at)
2019-11-07 08:30:10.884238+00:00

ListField

class ListFieldExample(models.Model):
    list_f = models.ListField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> ListFieldExample.objects.create(list_f=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
>> list(ListFieldExample.objects.filter(list_f__contains=5))
[<ListFieldExample: vZvDWm2EG6Di1wm85uD8>]

>> ListFieldExample.objects.filter(list_f__contains=5).get().list_f
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

MapField

class MapFieldExample(models.Model):
    map_f = models.MapField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> MapFieldExample.objects.create(map_f = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': {'a': 1}})
<MapFieldExample: JVggchyQn19knDfx2SNX>

>> list(MapFieldExample.objects.filter(map_f__c__a=1))
[<MapFieldExample: JVggchyQn19knDfx2SNX>]

>> list(MapFieldExample.objects.filter(map_f__c__a=1))[0].map_f
{'b': 2, 'c': {'a': 1}, 'a': 1}

GeoPointField

To save GeoPoint data you must use class GeoPointValue

class GeoPointFieldExample(models.Model):
    geo_point_f = models.GeoPointField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> gpf = GeoPointFieldExample()
>> gpf.geo_point_f = GeoPointValue(latitude=52.2297, longitude=21.0122)
>> gpf.save()

>> list(GeoPointFieldExample.objects.all())[0].geo_point_f
<matchbox.models.utils.GeoPointValue at 0x11191da58>

>> list(GeoPointFieldExample.objects.all())[0].geo_point_f.latitude
52.2297

ReferenceField

One of field offered by FireStore is Reference. In one document you can store reference to another document.

class User(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

class Class(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()
    user = models.ReferenceField(User)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> u = User.objects.create(name='Alex')
>> c = Class.objects.create(name='A1', user=u)
>> c.user
<User: cdda43cf3d65413f9eea17349e8222b8>

>> c.user.id, c.user.name
('cdda43cf3d65413f9eea17349e8222b8', 'Alex')

Query

objects.get

    class User(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> u = User.objects.create(name='Alex')
>> User.objects.get(id=u.id)
<User: fe500b4bc341471fa3118854b705c674>

objects.all

Return all documents in collection

class User(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

class Class(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()
    user = models.ReferenceField(User)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> User.objects.create(name='Tom')
>> User.objects.create(name='Alex')
>> User.objects.create(name='Michael')
>> User.objects.all()
<matchbox.queries.queries.FilterQuery at 0x1116a3978>

>> list(User.objects.all())
[<User: 6b8e2190ebe3428e8c30433e74287639>,
<User: 96767fdc81ba48779683868d2a81cbba>,
<User: fe500b4bc341471fa3118854b705c674>]

objects.filter

Filter is based on django filter method. FireStore allow following comparison, with are mapped to:

FireStore	Matchbox
<	lt
<=	lte
>	gt
>=	gte
==	not need
array_contains	contains

class User(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()
    evaluations = models.ListField()
    age = models.IntegerField(default=20)

    def __unicode__(self):
       return self.id

>> User.objects.create(name='Tom', evaluations=[1,1,2], age=15)
>> User.objects.create(name='Michael', evaluations=[2,3,5])
>> User.objects.create(name='Michael', evaluations=[4,4,2])
>> User.objects.filter()
[<User: 2dce37628c4345b0a9d1a721265984b4>,
<User: 348bf6888d1e4d22afd29385f8c1a330>,
<User: 389ac1ca88614d5fa5e53facb1249576>]

>> User.objects.filter(age__gte=10, age__lte=15)
[<User: 348bf6888d1e4d22afd29385f8c1a330>]

>> u = User.objects.filter(age__gte=10, age__lte=15).get()
>> print(u.age)
15

>> list(User.objects.filter(name='Michael'))
[<User: 2dce37628c4345b0a9d1a721265984b4>,
<User: 389ac1ca88614d5fa5e53facb1249576>]

>> list(User.objects.filter(name='Michael').filter(evaluations=[4,4,2])) # or list(User.objects.filter(name='Michael', evaluations=[4,4,2]))
[<User: 2dce37628c4345b0a9d1a721265984b4>]

>> u = User.objects.filter(name='Michael', evaluations=[4,4,2]).get()
>> print(u.id, u.age, u.name, u.evaluations)
2dce37628c4345b0a9d1a721265984b4 20 Michael [4, 4, 2]

>> list(User.objects.filter(evaluations__contains=3))
[<User: 389ac1ca88614d5fa5e53facb1249576>]

>> u = User.objects.filter(evaluations__contains=3).get()
>> u.id, u.name, u.evaluations
('389ac1ca88614d5fa5e53facb1249576', 'Michael', [2, 3, 5])

You can also filter by ReferenceField

class Class(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()
    user = models.ReferenceField(User)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> c = Class.objects.create(name='A1', user=User.objects.all().get())
>> c.user.id, c.user.name
'2dce37628c4345b0a9d1a721265984b4', 'Michael'

>> Class.objects.filter(user=u).get()
<Class: c3728ca35d25414794f6071d3acb3e2b>

order_by and limit

>> [(u.age, u.name) for u in User.objects.all()]
[(20, 'Michael'), (15, 'Tom'), (20, 'Michael')]

>> [(u.age, u.name) for u in User.objects.all().order_by('age')]
[(15, 'Tom'), (20, 'Michael'), (20, 'Michael')]

>> [(u.age, u.name) for u in User.objects.all().order_by('-age')]
[(20, 'Michael'), (20, 'Michael'), (15, 'Tom')]

>> [(u.age, u.name) for u in User.objects.all().order_by('-age').limit(2)]
[(20, 'Michael'), (20, 'Michael')]

Paginate

from matchbox.queries.paginator import Paginator

class User(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()
    age = models.IntegerField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id


>> pag = Paginator(User.objects.filter(age__gte=10), 100)
>> for q_data in pag:
     print([x.name for x in q_data])  # make request for 100 documents per loop

Delete

We can delete document by instance or by filter.

>> u = User.objects.all().get()
>> u.delete()

>> User.objects.filter(name='Alex').delete()

Delete whole collection:

>> User.objects.delete()
or
>> User.objects.filter().delete()

Managers

Like in Django we can create own Managers. For example:

class User(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()
    evaluations = models.ListField()
    age = models.IntegerField(default=20)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

class AManager(models.Manager):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return super().get_queryset().filter(active=True)


class DManager(models.Manager):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return super().get_queryset().filter(active=False)


class Class(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()
    user = models.ReferenceField(User)
    active = models.BooleanField()

    a_objects = AManager()
    f_objects = DManager()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.id

>> c1 = Class.objects.create(active=True, name='DD21')
>> c2 = Class.objects.create(active=True, name='DD22')
>> c3 = Class.objects.create(active=False, name='CC22')
>> c4 = Class.objects.create(active=False, name='CC11')
>> list(Class.objects.all())
[<Class: 96Ww50qJVh53v46iyOPP>,
 <Class: cjGlGWM8RiJqcAQLGvXK>,
 <Class: pgvWsXY47GrYO4Eiyp2W>,
 <Class: vHZMVjda2wNEVDmoxTe2>]

>> list(Class.f_objects.all())
[<Class: pgvWsXY47GrYO4Eiyp2W>, <Class: vHZMVjda2wNEVDmoxTe2>]

>> list(Class.a_objects.all())
[<Class: 96Ww50qJVh53v46iyOPP>, <Class: cjGlGWM8RiJqcAQLGvXK>]

Abstract model

Abstract model useful when you want to put some common information into a number of other models. You must create base class and add abstract = True in the Meta model class.

For example:

from matchbox import models as fsm, database

database.db_initialization('xxx.json')


class SuffixFsm(fsm.Model):
    createdAt = fsm.TimeStampField()
    createdBy = fsm.TextField(max_length=30, default='')

    class Meta:
        abstract = True


class SystemMaster(SuffixFsm):
    systemName = fsm.TextField(max_length=50, default='')

>> master = SystemMaster(
        systemName='name',
        createdAt=datetime.now(),
        createdBy='test',
    )
>> master.save()
>> master.__dict__

{'id': '9ZCOPU8KRwUB4rRVF1kZ',
 'systemName': 'name',
 'createdAt': datetime.datetime(2019, 7, 4, 21, 36, 56, 472744),
 'createdBy': 'test'}

SubCollections

Let say we want store structure like below in firestore

    (C) rooms
        (D) roomA
        name : "my chat room"
            (C) messages
                (D) message1
                from : "alex"
                msg : "Hello World!"

            (C) message2
                ...

        (D) roomB
            ...

(C) -> Collection
(D) -> Document

from matchbox import models, database
database.db_initialization('xxx.json')

class Message(models.Model):
    by = models.TextField()
    msg = models.TextField()

    class Meta:
        collection_name = 'messages'


class Room(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField()

    class Meta:
        collection_name = 'rooms'

To create subcollection in document, we must set path in model to document using set_base_path.

ModelClass.set_base_path(model_instance) -> model_instance must be stored in firestore before passed to method.

>> r = Room.objects.create(name='roomA')
>> Message.set_base_path(r)
>> # Wrong Room(name='roomA'); Message.set_base_path(r)
>> Message.objects.create(by='Alex', msg='Hello')
>> Message.objects.create(by='Alex', msg='How are you ?')

>> r = Room.objects.create(name='roomB')
>> Message.set_base_path(r)
>> Message.objects.create(by='Neo', msg='Matrix ?')
>> Message.objects.create(by='Matrix', msg='Follow the white rabbit')

IMPORTANT: Default path is '/<collection_name>', so if you don't set path your document will be created in root path. You always can restore default path using ModelClass.reset_base_path().

To check path instance use model_path

>> r = Room.objects.get(name='roomA')  # r.id == 'K8imB6eui5ibfSEZon3e'
>> print(r.model_path)
('rooms', 'K8imB6eui5ibfSEZon3e')

>> r = Room.objects.get(name='roomB')  # r.id == '4QIk9Q5LCrkVz1bWir6w
>> print(r.model_path)
('rooms', '4QIk9Q5LCrkVz1bWir6w')

>> Message.set_base_path(r)
>> m = Message.objects.get(by='Neo')  # m.id == 'YypGDFPi5M1NYeWqROSq'
>> print(m.model_path)
('rooms', '4QIk9Q5LCrkVz1bWir6w', 'messages', 'YypGDFPi5M1NYeWqROSq')

To check model path use 'path' property

>> print(Room.path)  # ('rooms', )

To get all messages from 'roomB' filtered by 'by' field:

>> r = Room.objects.get(name='roomB')
>> Message.set_base_path(r)
>> neo_messages = Message.objects.filter(by='Neo')
>> print(len(list(neo_messages)))
1

>> matrix_messages = Message.objects.filter(by='Matrix')
>> print(len(list(matrix_messages)))
1

Now let say, we want to delete all messages in 'roomA':

>> r = Room.objects.get(name='roomA')
>> Message.set_base_path(r)
>> print(len(list(Message.objects.all())))
2

>> Message.objects.delete()
>> print(len(list(Message.objects.all())))
0

>> r = Room.objects.get(name='roomB')
>> Message.set_base_path(r)
>> print([x.msg for x in Message.objects.all()])
['Follow the white rabbit', 'Matrix ?']

IMPORTANT: We can't delete room (Room.objects.get(name='roomA').delete()). If we do this in this way, references in firestore to messages will still exist. So before deleting Collection, make sure you delete all subcollections independently from his documents.
