Simple

A familiar developer experience:

import necro
app = necro.App()

@app.get("/")
async def raise():
    return {"message": "the dead rise"}

app.run()

necro run app:app

Postgres

Built-in first-class Postgres support!

import necro
app = necro.App()

@app.get("/summon/{id}")
async def summon_one(db, id):
    return await db.fetch_one("SELECT id, name, power FROM minions WHERE id = $1", id)

@app.post("/raise")
async def raise_dead(db, body):
    return await db.execute(
        "INSERT INTO minions (name, power) VALUES ($1, $2)",
        body.name,
        body.power
    )

app.run()

Redis

Built-in first-class Redis support!

import necro

app = necro.App()

@app.post("/bind")
async def bind(redis, body):
    await redis.set(body.name, body.soul)
    await redis.expire(body.name, 3600)
    return {"bound": body.name, "ttl": 3600}

app.run()

Type-safe SQL

The framework's recommended approach to using the db.

Highly optimized!

Define your schema:

-- undead.sql

CREATE TABLE zombies (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    decay_rate REAL,
    graveyard TEXT,
);

Define your queries:

-- spells.sql

-- name: SummonZombie :one
SELECT * FROM zombies WHERE id = {id};

-- name: RaiseHorde :many
SELECT * FROM zombies ORDER BY decay_rate ASC;

!!! info Did you know Claude's best language is SQL?

Generate methods and models, complete with type hints and validations:

necro scribe

generates:

# undead.py
class Zombie(NecroModel):
    id: int
    decay_rate: float
    graveyard: str

Now the db will have your queries:

await db.spells.summon_zombie(id=id)
await db.spells.raise_horde()

Serve type-safe results from your routes:

import necro

app = necro.App()

@app.post("/summon")
async def raise_horde(spells) -> list[Zombie]:
    return await spells.raise_horde()

app.run()
