A clean realtime way to handle MongoDB documents in Pythonic way

MongoGetterSetter - A Clean Realtime MongoDB Getter Setter API for Python

MongoGetterSetter is a metaclass that provides a convenient getter and setter API for instances of the classes that use it, allowing natural operations in Python objects to easily reflect in MongoDB documents.

The idea is to convert MongoDB Document into Python Object of Type MongoGetterSetter in High Level, and all other document's sub documents are treated as dict wrapped with MongoDictWrapper and other datatypes like int, bool float and list are all handled by MongoDataWrapper.

Here, we initialize Employee and EmployeeCollection class with _collection and _filter_query as mandatory attributes for MongoGetterSetter to function properly. These 2 attributes are used internally to do further manipulations to MongoDB documents. You can change the _filter_query attribute to customize the filter query as per your needs. _collection should point to the MongoDB collection.

Usage of MongoGetterSetter metaclass

from pymongo import MongoClient
from mongogettersetter import MongoGetterSetter

# Connect to the MongoDB database and collection

client = MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")
db = client["example_db"]
collection = db["employee"]

# Wrapper for MongoDB Collection with metaclass, use this inside your actual class.
class EmployeeCollection(metaclass=MongoGetterSetter):
    def __init__(self, _id):
        self._filter_query = {"id": _id} # or the ObjectID, at your convinence
        self._collection = collection # Should be a pymongo.MongoClient[database].collection

class Employee:
    def __init__(self, _id):
        self._filter_query = {"id": _id}
        self._collection = collection
        self.collection = EmployeeCollection(_id)

        # Create a new document if it doesn't exist
        if self.collection.get() is None:
            self._collection.insert_one(self._filter_query)
    
    def someOtherOperation(self):
        self.collection.hello = "Hello World"  

Now, save the above code in a file named employee.py and run the following command in the same directory:

$ python3 -i employee.py

This will run the contents of employee.py in interactive mode. Now, you can create an instance of EmployeeCollection in Employee class and do operations on it.

Before that, assume you have a MongoDB Collection called employee with an object like this:

{'_id': ObjectId('640311ab0469a9c4eaf3d2bd'), 'id': 4051, 'email': '[e-mail]', 'password': 'SomeNew SecurePassword', 'about': None, 'token': '7f471974-ae46-4ac0-a882-1980c300c4d6', 'country': 'India', 'location': None, 'lng': 0, 'lat': 0, 'dob': None, 'gender': 0, 'userType': 1, 'userStatus': 1, 'profilePicture': 'Images/9b291404-bc2e-4806-88c5-08d29e65a5ad.png', 'coverPicture': 'Images/44af97d9-b8c9-4ec1-a099-010671db25b7.png', 'enablefollowme': False, 'sendmenotifications': False, 'sendTextmessages': False, 'enabletagging': False, 'createdAt': '2020-01-01T11:13:27.1107739', 'updatedAt': '2020-01-02T09:16:49.284864', 'livelng': 77.389849, 'livelat': 28.6282231, 'liveLocation': 'Unnamed Road, Chhijarsi, Sector 63, Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201307, India', 'creditBalance': 130, 'myCash': 0, 'data': {'name': 'array_test', 'arr': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 'hobies': {'composer': ['anirudh', {'co_singer': ['rakshitha', 'divagar', 'sibi']}, 'yuvan'], 'music': 'helo'}}, 'scores': [{'subject': 'math', 'score': 100}, {'subject': 'physics', 'score': 85}, {'subject': 'chemistry', 'score': 95}], 'fix': 1, 'hello': 1, 'recent_views': [200], 'exam': '', 'subject': '', 'arr': {'name': 'sibidharan', 'pass': 'hello', 'score': {'subject': {'minor': 'zoology', 'major': 'biology', 'others': ['evs', {'name': 'shiro', 'inarr': [200, 2, 3, {'sub': 'testsub', 'newsu': 'aksjdad', 'secret': 'skdjfnsdkfjnsdfsdf'}, 4, 12]}]}, 'score': 40, 'new': 'not7', 'hello': {'arr': [5, 2]}}}, 'name': 'ManojKumar', 'd': [1, 3, 4, 5], 'score': {}, 'hgf': 5}

This can be accessed by creating an instance of EmployeeCollection class with the proper id as given in the self._filter_query. If such ID doesn't exist, it will create a new document with the given id.

For example:

>>> e = EmployeeCollection(4051)

Now this e object is an instance of EmployeeCollection class, which is a subclass of MongoGetterSetter metaclass. This object is a wrapper around the MongoDB document, which is fetched from the MongoDB collection using the self._filter_query from the self._collection attribute. You can access the MongoDB document and do CURD essential operations just by accessing this object's attributes/indexes. For the available methods, see the MongoDataWrapper and MongoDictWrapper methods. For example:

>>> e = EmployeeCollection(4051)
>>> e
{'_id': ObjectId('640311ab0469a9c4eaf3d2bd'), 'id': 4051, 'email': '[e-mail]', 'password': 'SomeNew SecurePassword', 'about': None, 'token': '7f471974-ae46-4ac0-a882-1980c300c4d6', 'country': 'India', 'location': None, 'lng': 0, 'lat': 0, 'dob': None, 'gender': 0, 'userType': 1, 'userStatus': 1, 'profilePicture': 'Images/9b291404-bc2e-4806-88c5-08d29e65a5ad.png', 'coverPicture': 'Images/44af97d9-b8c9-4ec1-a099-010671db25b7.png', 'enablefollowme': False, 'sendmenotifications': False, 'sendTextmessages': False, 'enabletagging': False, 'createdAt': '2020-01-01T11:13:27.1107739', 'updatedAt': '2020-01-02T09:16:49.284864', 'livelng': 77.389849, 'livelat': 28.6282231, 'liveLocation': 'Unnamed Road, Chhijarsi, Sector 63, Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201307, India', 'creditBalance': 130, 'myCash': 0, 'data': {'name': 'array_test', 'arr': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 'hobies': {'composer': ['anirudh', {'co_singer': ['rakshitha', 'divagar', 'sibi']}, 'yuvan'], 'music': 'helo'}}, 'scores': [{'subject': 'math', 'score': 100}, {'subject': 'physics', 'score': 85}, {'subject': 'chemistry', 'score': 95}], 'fix': 1, 'hello': 1, 'recent_views': [200], 'exam': '', 'subject': '', 'arr': {'name': 'sibidharan', 'pass': 'hello', 'score': {'subject': {'minor': 'zoology', 'major': 'biology', 'others': ['evs', {'name': 'shiro', 'inarr': [200, 2, 3, {'sub': 'testsub', 'newsu': 'aksjdad', 'secret': 'skdjfnsdkfjnsdfsdf'}, 4, 12]}]}, 'score': 40, 'new': 'not7', 'hello': {'arr': [5, 2]}}}, 'name': 'ManojKumar', 'd': [1, 3, 4, 5], 'score': {}, 'hgf': 5}
>>> e.id
4051
>>> e.id.get()
4051
>>> e.name
ManojKumar
>>> e.name.get()
ManojKumar

The MongoDB Document's root level attributes are directly accessible as the attributes of the MongoGetterSetter object. For example, e.id can also be accessible as e['id'] and e.name can also be accessible as e['name']. The e.id.get() and e.name.get() methods are used to get the original datatype of the MongoDB document's root level attributes. For example, e.id is an int datatype, so e.id.get() will return the original int datatype. Similarly, e.data is a dict datatype wrapped in MongoDictWrapper, e.data.get() will return the original dict datatype.

For Example:

>>> e.name = "S. Manoj Kumar"
>>> e.name
S. Manoj Kumar
>>> e.data
{'name': 'array_test', 'arr': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 'hobies': {'composer': ['anirudh', {'co_singer': ['rakshitha', 'divagar', 'sibi']}, 'yuvan'], 'music': 'helo'}}
>>> type(e.data)
<class 'mongogettersetter.MongoDataWrapper'>
>>> e.data.name = "ThisIsAwesmoe"
>>> e.data
{'name': 'ThisIsAwesmoe', 'arr': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 'hobies': {'composer': ['anirudh', {'co_singer': ['rakshitha', 'divagar', 'sibi']}, 'yuvan'], 'music': 'helo'}}
>>> 

The MongoDataWrapper class is used to wrap the MongoDB document datatypes to provide MongoDB Array/List Operations over a simple, straightforward API to perform various operations on the MongoDB collection.

You can perform almost all basic array operations MongoDB supports. For example, you can use e.data.arr.push(9) to append a new element to the arr array. Similarly, you can use e.data.arr.pop() to pop the last element from the arr array. You can also use e.data.arr.remove(2) to remove the element 2 from the arr array. You can also use e.data.arr.insert(0, [1,2,3]) to insert the element [1,2,3] at the beginning of the arr array. You can also use e.data.arr[0] = 0 to set the first element of the arr array to 0. You can also use e.data.arr[0] to get the first element of the arr array. You can also use e.data.arr[0].get() to get the original datatype of the first element of the arr array.

>>> e.data
{'name': 'ThisIsAwesmoe', 'arr': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 'hobies': {'composer': ['anirudh', {'co_singer': ['rakshitha', 'divagar', 'sibi']}, 'yuvan'], 'music': 'helo'}}
>>> type(e.data)
<class 'mongogettersetter.MongoDataWrapper'>
>>> type(e.data.get())
<class 'dict'>
>>> e.data.arr.push(9)
True
>>> e.data
{'name': 'ThisIsAwesmoe', 'arr': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], 'hobies': {'composer': ['anirudh', {'co_singer': ['rakshitha', 'divagar', 'sibi']}, 'yuvan'], 'music': 'helo'}}
>>> e.data.arr[1] = 100
>>> e.data.arr
[1, 100, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
>>> e.data.arr[1]
100

Access documents in any depth, either as attributes or as keys, to access nested data. For example, e.data.hobies is a nested dictionary, so you can access the hobies dictionary as e.data.hobies or e.data['hobies']. Similarly, e.data.hobies.composer is a nested list, so you can access the composer list as e.data.hobies.composer or e.data.hobies['composer']. Similarly, e.data.hobies.composer[1] is a nested dictionary, so you can access the co_singer list as e.data.hobies.composer[1].co_singer or e.data.hobies.composer[1]['co_singer']. Perform all possible operations on all the nested data, limited to the MongoDB supported operations.

>>> e.data.hobies
{'composer': ['anirudh', {'co_singer': ['rakshitha', 'divagar', 'sibi']}, 'yuvan'], 'music': 'helo'}
>>> e.data.hobies.composer
['anirudh', {'co_singer': ['rakshitha', 'divagar', 'sibi']}, 'yuvan']
>>> e.data.hobies.composer.push('rahman')
True
>>> e.data.hobies.composer
['anirudh', {'co_singer': ['rakshitha', 'divagar', 'sibi']}, 'yuvan', 'rahman']
>>> e.data.hobies.composer[1]
{'co_singer': ['rakshitha', 'divagar', 'sibi']}
>>> e.data.hobies.composer[1].co_singer
['rakshitha', 'divagar', 'sibi']
>>> e.data.hobies.composer[1].co_singer.pop()
True
>>> e.data.hobies.composer[1].co_singer
['rakshitha', 'divagar']
>>> e.data.hobies.composer[1].co_singer.insert(0, 'sushila')
True
>>> e.data.hobies.composer[1].co_singer
['sushila', 'rakshitha', 'divagar']
>>> e.data.hobies
{'composer': ['anirudh', {'co_singer': ['sushila', 'rakshitha', 'divagar']}, 'yuvan', 'rahman'], 'music': 'helo'}
>>> e.data.hobies.music = 'melody'
>>> e.data.hobies
{'composer': ['anirudh', {'co_singer': ['sushila', 'rakshitha', 'divagar']}, 'yuvan', 'rahman'], 'music': 'melody'}
>>> e.data.hobies.composer[1].main_singer = 'SPB'

MongoDictWrapper

MongoDictWrapper is a class that inherits from the dict class and extends its functionalities to access dictionary keys as attributes. It allows you to access, modify, and manipulate MongoDB documents using Python dictionaries. When a MongoDataWrapper returns a dict, it automatically is wrapped with MongoDictWrapper, when it returns a list, it automatically is wrapped with MongoDataWrapper to allow manipulation of MongoDB object inside a MongoDB object, like a dict inside a dict. If you wish to access the value as default datatype, consider get() method.

Methods

• __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): Constructor method that initializes the base dict class.

• prepare(self, _id, key, collection, filter_query): This method initializes the internal data structure that stores information about the document's location in the MongoDB collection.

• __getitem__(self, key): Overrides the base dict method to return a wrapped MongoDictWrapper when accessing a nested dictionary.

• __setitem__(self, key, value): Overrides the base dict method to update the MongoDB document when setting a key-value pair.

• __delattr__(self, key): Overrides the base dict method to delete a key-value pair from the MongoDB document when deleting an attribute.

• __getattr__(self, key): Overrides the base dict method to return a wrapped MongoDictWrapper when accessing a nested dictionary.

• __setattr__(self, key, value): Overrides the base dict method to update the MongoDB document when setting a key-value pair.

• __delitem__(self, key): Overrides the base dict method to delete a key-value pair from the MongoDB document when deleting an item.

• get(self, key, default=None): Overrides the base dict method to return the value of the key in the MongoDB document, or the default value if the key is not present.

• pop(self, key, default=None): Overrides the base dict method to remove and return the value of the key in the MongoDB document, or the default value if the key is not present.

• update(self, other): Overrides the base dict method to update the MongoDB document with the key-value pairs from the other dictionary or iterable.

• delete(self): Delets the key from MongoDB Document

• clear(self): Overrides the base dict method to remove all key-value pairs from the MongoDB document.

• __len__(self): Overrides the base dict method to return the number of key-value pairs in the MongoDB document.

• __str__(self): Overrides the base dict method to return a string representation of the MongoDB document.

• __repr__(self): Overrides the base dict method to return a string representation of the MongoDB document.

Examples

To provide a more detailed example, let's assume you have a MongoDB collection named people with the following documents:

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "Alice",
        "age": 30,
        "skills": ["Python", "Django", "JavaScript"],
        "contact": {
            "email": "[e-mail]",
            "phone": "555-1234"
        },
        "projects": [
            {
                "title": "Project A",
                "status": "completed"
            },
            {
                "title": "Project B",
                "status": "in progress"
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "id": 2,
        "name": "Bob",
        "age": 25,
        "skills": ["Java", "Spring", "JavaScript"],
        "contact": {
            "email": "[e-mail]",
            "phone": "555-5678"
        },
        "projects": [
            {
                "title": "Project X",
                "status": "completed"
            },
            {
                "title": "Project Y",
                "status": "in progress"
            }
        ]
    }
]

Now, let's create a class called People and PeopleCollection with MongoGetterSetter as its metaclass.

from pymongo import MongoClient
from mongogettersetter import MongoGetterSetter

# Connect to the MongoDB database and collection
client = MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")
db = client["example_db"]
people_collection = db["people"]

# Wrapper for MongoDB Collection with metaclass, use this inside your actual class.
class PeopleCollection(metaclass=MongoGetterSetter):
    def __init__(self, _id):
        self._filter_query = {"id": _id}  # or the ObjectID, at your convenience
        self._collection = people_collection  # Should be a pymongo.MongoClient[database].collection

class People():
    def __init__(self, _id):
        self.collection = PeopleCollection(_id)
        self._filter_query = {"id": _id}
        self._collection = people_collection
        if self.collection.get() is None:
            self._collection.insert_one(self._filter_query)
    
    def someOtherOperation(self):
        self.collection.hello = "Hello World"       

Create a PeopleCollection object for Alice with id = 1

alice = PeopleCollection(1)

Access and modify Alice's name

print(alice.name)  # Output: 'Alice'
alice.name = "Alice Johnson"
print(alice.name)  # Output: 'Alice Johnson'

Check if Alice's document has a 'contact' field

if 'contact' in alice:
    print("Contact field exists")

Access and modify Alice's email

print(alice.contact)  # Output: {'email': '[e-mail]', 'phone': '555-1234'}
alice.contact.email = "[e-mail]"
print(alice.contact.email)  # Output: '[e-mail]'

Access and modify Alice's skills

print(alice.skills)# Output: ['Python', 'Django', 'JavaScript']

print(alice.skills.get())  # Output: ['Python', 'Django', 'JavaScript']
alice.skills.push("React", maximum=4)
print(alice.skills.get())  # Output: ['Python', 'Django', 'JavaScript', 'React']
alice.skills.pop(direction=-1)
print(alice.skills.get())  # Output: ['Python', 'Django', 'JavaScript']

Access and modify Alice's projects

print(alice.projects.get())  # Output: [{'title': 'Project A', 'status': 'completed'}, {'title': 'Project B', 'status': 'in progress'}]
alice.projects.update("title", "Project A", status="archived")
print(alice.projects.get())  # Output: [{'title': 'Project A', 'status': 'archived'}, {'title': 'Project B', 'status': 'in progress'}]

High-level Overview of the code for contributors to better understand the implementation

Any and all contributions are welcome ❤️

1. MongoDictWrapper: A wrapper for dictionaries that provides additional methods for interaction with MongoDB documents.

   Methods:

   • prepare
   • __getitem__
   • __setitem__
   • __delitem__
   • get
   • pop
   • update
   • clear
   • delete

2. MongoDataWrapper: A wrapper class for the data stored in MongoDB documents.

   Methods:

   • get
   • inArray
   • push
   • addToSet
   • pop
   • pull
   • pullAll
   • size
   • elemMatch
   • all
   • update
   • delete
   • __len__
   • __str__
   • __repr__
   • __getattr__
   • __getitem__
   • __setattr__
   • __setitem__
   • __delitem__
   • __delattr__

3. MongoGetterSetter: A metaclass that provides a way to override the default behavior of __getattr__, __setattr__, __contains__, __str__, __repr__, and __delattr__ to work with MongoDB documents.

   Nested class: PyMongoGetterSetter

   Methods:

   • __getattr__
   • __getitem__
   • __setattr__
   • __setitem__
   • __contains__
   • __str__
   • __repr__
   • __delattr__
   • __delitem__
