nexora-db 0.2.1

Shared database layer for Nexora monitoring platform

nexora_db

Shared database layer for the Nexora monitoring platform.

nexora_db is an installable Python package that provides a unified, reusable database interface for all Nexora services. It encapsulates SQLAlchemy models, database configuration, and CRUD operations for users, devices, and alerts — keeping your database logic in one place and out of your application code.

Features

• 🗄️ Centralized database layer — one package, shared across all Nexora microservices
• 🔌 PostgreSQL support via psycopg2-binary and SQLAlchemy 2.0
• 🧱 SQLAlchemy ORM models for Users, Devices, and Alerts
• 📦 Installable as a package via pip or pyproject.toml

---

Requirements

• Python >= 3.9
• PostgreSQL database instance

---

Installation

Install directly from source:

pip install .

Or install in editable/development mode:

pip install -e .

Dependencies

Package	Version
SQLAlchemy	2.0.43
psycopg2-binary	2.9.11
python-dotenv	1.1.1
pydantic	2.11.7
pydantic-settings	2.10.1

---

Configuration

nexora_db uses pydantic-settings to load configuration from environment variables or a .env file.

Create a .env file in your project root:

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://nexorauser:nexorapass@localhost:5432/nexora_db

The DATABASE_URL environment variable must be set before importing any models or operations.

Usage

1. Initialize the Database

Before using any models or operations, call init_database() once at application startup with your PostgreSQL connection URL, then call init_db_tables() to create all tables.

from nexora_db.configs.database import init_database, init_db_tables

init_database("postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/nexora_db") ; init_db_tables()

get_db() and all operations will raise a RuntimeError if called before init_database().

---

2. Session Usage

get_db() is a generator — use it with next() or inside a dependency injection framework (e.g. FastAPI):

from nexora_db.configs.database import get_db

# Manual usage
db = next(get_db())
try:
    # ... perform operations ...
finally:
    db.close()

# FastAPI dependency injection
from fastapi import Depends
from nexora_db.configs.database import get_db

@app.get("/example")
def example_route(db=Depends(get_db)):
    ...

---

3. Users

UserOperations wraps all user-related database logic. Instantiate it after init_database() has been called.

import time
from nexora_db.configs.database import init_database, init_db_tables
from nexora_db.operations.users_service import UserOperations

# --- Database Setup ---
DATABASE_URL = "postgresql+psycopg2://nexorauser:nexorapass@localhost:5432/nexoradb"
init_database(DATABASE_URL) ; init_db_tables()

# --- Initialize Operation Classes ---
user_ops = UserOperations()

# Create a new user
user = user_ops.create_user(
    email="[e-mail]",
    hashed_password="hashed_secret"
)

# Fetch by email
user = user_ops.get_user_by_email("[e-mail]")

# Fetch all users
users = user_ops.get_all_users()

# Update a user
updated = user_ops.update_user(user_id=1, data=UserCreate(email="[e-mail]", password="new_hash"))

# Delete a user
deleted = user_ops.delete_user(user_id=1)

# Extract username from email
username = UserUtils.get_username_from_email("[e-mail]")

---

4. Pydantic Schemas

nexora_db ships with Pydantic v2 schemas for input validation and API serialization.

from nexora_db.schema.validator import UserCreate, UserOut, DeviceCreateForm, DeviceUpdateForm

# Validate user input
payload = UserCreate(email="[e-mail]", password="secret123")

# Validate device registration
device_form = DeviceCreateForm(
    hostname="router-01",
    device_type="router",
    ip_address="192.168.1.1",
    mac_address="AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF"
)

update_form = DeviceUpdateForm(ip_address="10.0.0.5")

Available schemas:

Schema	Purpose
UserCreate	Email + password for creating/updating a user
UserOut	Serialized user response (id, email, role)
DeviceCreateForm	Full device registration payload
DeviceUpdateForm	Partial device update (all fields optional)
