mongo-types 0.15.1

Type stubs for mongoengine w/ basic support for bson and pymongo

mongo-types

Type stubs for mongoengine with some basic type stubs for pymongo and bson.

Allows for autocomplete and static typing.

install

pip install mongo-types

Monkey patch mongoengine's QuerySet so we can type it with a generic argument at runtime:

import types
from mongoengine.queryset.queryset import QuerySet

def no_op(self, x):
    return self

QuerySet.__class_getitem__ = types.MethodType(no_op, QuerySet)

usage

After installing and monkey patching, the types should work for the most part, but you'll probably need to change how you write some things.

getting objects to work

By default, the base document is typed to not have an objects property so that each document can type it properly.

Here's a helper class that's useful for simple cases which don't modify the QuerySet.

from typing import Generic, Type, TypeVar
from mongoengine import QuerySet, Document

U = TypeVar("U", bound=Document)

class QuerySetManager(Generic[U]):
    def __get__(self, instance: object, cls: Type[U]) -> QuerySet[U]:
        return QuerySet(cls, cls._get_collection())

class Page(Document):
    meta = {
        "collection": "pages",
    }

    objects = QuerySetManager["Page"]()

    organization = fields.StringField()

replacing usages of queryset_class

before:

from typing import Type
from mongoengine import QuerySet, Document

class PostQuerySet(QuerySet):
    def for_org(self, *, org: str) -> QuerySet:
        return self.filter(organization=org)

    def exists(self) -> bool:
        return self.count() > 0

class Post(Document):
    meta = {
        "collection": "posts",
        "queryset_class": SMSLogQuerySet,
    }

    organization = fields.StringField()
    # --snip--

after:

from typing import Type
from mongoengine import QuerySet, Document

class PostQuerySet(QuerySet["Post"]):
    def for_org(self, *, org: str) -> QuerySet["Post"]:
        return self.filter(organization=org)

    def exists(self) -> bool:
        return self.count() > 0


class QuerySetManager:
    def __get__(self, instance: object, cls: Type[Post]) -> PostQuerySet:
        return PostQuerySet(cls, cls._get_collection())


class Post(Document):
    meta = {
        "collection": "posts",
    }

    objects = QuerySetManager()

    organization = fields.StringField()
    # --snip--

replicating @queryset_manager behavior

before:

from mongoengine import Document, QuerySet, queryset_manager, fields

class UserQuerySet(QuerySet):
    def for_org(self, *, org: str) -> QuerySet:
        return self.filter(organization=org)

class User(Document):
    meta = {
        "collection": "users",
        "queryset_class": UserQuerySet,
    }

    is_active = fields.BooleanField()

    # --snip--

    @queryset_manager
    def objects(self, queryset: QuerySet) -> QuerySet:
        return queryset.filter(is_active=True)

    @queryset_manager
    def all_objects(self, queryset: QuerySet) -> QuerySet:
        return queryset

maybe_user = User.all_objects.first()

after:

from __future__ import annotations
from typing import Type
from mongoengine import QuerySet, Document

class UserQuerySet(QuerySet["User"]):
    def for_org(self, *, org: str) -> UserQuerySet:
        return self.filter(organization=org)


class QuerySetManager:
    def __get__(self, instance: object, cls: Type[User]) -> UserQuerySet:
        return UserQuerySet(cls, cls._get_collection()).filter(is_active=True)


class User(Document):
    meta = {
        "collection": "users",
    }

    is_active = fields.BooleanField()

    # --snip--

    objects = QuerySetManager()

    @classmethod
    def all_objects(cls) -> UserQuerySet:
        return UserQuerySet(cls, cls._get_collection())

maybe_user = User.all_objects().first()

fixing "Model" has no attribute "id"

Mongoengine will define an id field for you automatically. Mongo-types require you specify your id explicitly so that the types can be more strict.

class User(Document):
    meta = {
        "collection": "users",
    }

# becomes

class User(Document):
    meta = {
        "collection": "users",
    }
    id = fields.StringField(db_field="_id", primary_key=True, default=default_id)

# or if you prefer ObjectIds

class User(Document):
    meta = {
        "collection": "users",
    }
    id = fields.ObjectIdField(db_field="_id", primary_key=True, default=ObjectId)
