ohmyapi 0.1.7

A Django-like but async web-framework based on FastAPI and TortoiseORM.

OhMyAPI

Think: Micro-Django, but API-first, less clunky and 100% async.

OhMyAPI is a Django-flavored web-application scaffolding framework and management layer. Built around FastAPI and TortoiseORM, it is 100% async.

It is blazingly fast, fun to use and comes with batteries included!

Features

• Django-like project-layout and -structure
• Django-like prject-level settings.py
• Django-like models via TortoiseORM
• Django-like Model.Meta class for model configuration
• Easily convert your query results to pydantic models via Model.Schema
• Django-like migrations (makemigrations & migrate) via Aerich
• Django-like CLI tooling (startproject, startapp, shell, serve, etc)
• Various optional builtin apps you can hook into your project
• Highly configurable and customizable
• 100% async

Getting started

Creating a Project

pip install ohmyapi
ohmyapi startproject myproject
cd myproject

This will create the following directory structure:

myproject/
  - pyproject.toml
  - README.md
  - settings.py

Run your project with:

ohmyapi serve

In your browser go to:

• http://localhost:8000/docs

Creating an App

Create a new app by:

ohmyapi startapp tournament

This will create the following directory structure:

myproject/
  - tournament/
    - __init__.py
    - models.py
    - routes.py
  - pyproject.toml
  - README.md
  - settings.py

Add 'tournament' to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

Models

Write your first model in turnament/models.py:

from ohmyapi.db import Model, field


class Tournament(Model):
    id = field.IntField(primary_key=True)
    name = field.TextField()
    created = field.DatetimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name


class Event(Model):
    id = field.IntField(primary_key=True)
    name = field.TextField()
    tournament = field.ForeignKeyField('tournament.Tournament', related_name='events')
    participants = field.ManyToManyField('torunament.Team', related_name='events', through='event_team')
    modified = field.DatetimeField(auto_now=True)
    prize = field.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2, null=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name


class Team(Model):
    id = field.IntField(primary_key=True)
    name = field.TextField()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

API Routes

Next, create your endpoints in tournament/routes.py:

from ohmyapi.router import APIRouter, HTTPException
from ohmyapi.db.exceptions import DoesNotExist

from .models import Tournament

router = APIRouter(prefix="/tournament")


@router.get("/")
async def list():
    queryset = Tournament.all()
    return await Tournament.Schema.many.from_queryset(queryset)


@router.get("/:id")
async def get(id: int):
    try:
        queryset = Tournament.get(pk=id)
        return await Tournament.Schema.one(queryset)
    except DoesNotExist:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail="item not found")

...

Migrations

Before we can run the app, we need to create and initialize the database.

Similar to Django, first run:

ohmyapi makemigrations [ <app> ]  # no app means all INSTALLED_APPS

This will create a migrations/ folder in you project root.

myproject/
  - tournament/
    - __init__.py
    - models.py
    - routes.py
  - migrations/
    - tournament/
  - pyproject.toml
  - README.md
  - settings.py

Apply your migrations via:

ohmyapi migrate [ <app> ]  # no app means all INSTALLED_APPS

Run your project:

ohmyapi serve

Shell

Similar to Django, you can attach to an interactive shell with your project already loaded inside.

ohmyapi shell

Authentication

A builtin auth app is available.

Simply add ohmyapi_auth to your INSTALLED_APPS and define a JWT_SECRET in your settings.py. Remember to makemigrations and migrate for the necessary tables to be created in the database.

settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'ohmyapi_auth',
    ...
]

JWT_SECRET = "t0ps3cr3t"

After restarting your project you will have access to the ohmyapi_auth app. It comes with a User and Group model, as well as endpoints for JWT auth.

You can use the models as ForeignKeyField in your application models:

class Team(Model):
    [...]
    members = field.ManyToManyField('ohmyapi_auth.User', related_name='tournament_teams', through='tournament_teams')
    [...]

Remember to run makemigrations and migrate in order for your model changes to take effect in the database.

Create a super-user:

ohmyapi createsuperuser

Permissions

API-Level Permissions

Use FastAPI's Depends pattern to implement API-level access-control.

In your routes.py:

from ohmyapi.router import APIRouter, Depends

from ohmyapi_auth.models import User
from ohmyapi_auth import (
    models as auth,
    permissions,
)

from .models import Tournament

router = APIRouter(prefix="/tournament")


@router.get("/")
async def list(user: auth.User = Depends(permissions.require_authenticated)):
    queryset = Tournament.all()
    return await Tournament.Schema.many.from_queryset(queryset)


...

Model-Level Permissions

Use Tortoise's Manager to implement model-layer permissions.

from ohmyapi.db import Manager
from typing import Callable


class TeamManager(Manager):
    async def for_user(self, user):
        return await self.filter(members=user).all()


class Team(Model):
    [...]

    class Meta:
        manager = TeamManager()
