An simple async ORM with Fastapi in mind.

Project description

ORMar

Build Status Coverage CodeFactor Codacy

The ormar package is an async ORM for Python, with support for Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite. Ormar is built with:

Because ormar is built on SQLAlchemy core, you can use alembic to provide database migrations.

The goal was to create a simple ORM that can be used directly with fastapi that bases it's data validation on pydantic. Initial work was inspired by encode/orm. The encode package was too simple (i.e. no ability to join two times to the same table) and used typesystem for data checks.

To avoid too high coupling with pydantic and sqlalchemy ormar uses them by composition rather than by inheritance.

ormar is still under development: We recommend pinning any dependencies with ormar~=0.1.1

Note: Use ipython to try this from the console, since it supports await.

import databases
import ormar
import sqlalchemy

database = databases.Database("sqlite:///db.sqlite")
metadata = sqlalchemy.MetaData()


class Note(ormar.Model):
    __tablename__ = "notes"
    __database__ = database
    __metadata__ = metadata

    # primary keys of type int by dafault are set to autoincrement    
    id = ormar.Integer(primary_key=True)
    text = ormar.String(length=100)
    completed = ormar.Boolean(default=False)

# Create the database
engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine(str(database.url))
metadata.create_all(engine)

# .create()
await Note.objects.create(text="Buy the groceries.", completed=False)
await Note.objects.create(text="Call Mum.", completed=True)
await Note.objects.create(text="Send invoices.", completed=True)

# .all()
notes = await Note.objects.all()

# .filter()
notes = await Note.objects.filter(completed=True).all()

# exact, iexact, contains, icontains, lt, lte, gt, gte, in
notes = await Note.objects.filter(text__icontains="mum").all()

# .get()
note = await Note.objects.get(id=1)

# .update()
await note.update(completed=True)

# .delete()
await note.delete()

# 'pk' always refers to the primary key
note = await Note.objects.get(pk=2)
note.pk  # 2

Ormar supports loading and filtering across foreign keys...

# Load the relationship from the database

# This time, fetch an instance, loading the foreign key relationship.
track = await Track.objects.select_related("album").get(title="The Bird")

# By default you also get a second side of the relation 
# constructed as lowercase source model name +'s' (tracks in this case)
# you can also provide custom name with parameter related_name

# Fetch instances, with a filter and operator across an FK relationship.

# Limit a query
tracks = await Track.objects.limit(1).all()
assert len(tracks) == 1

Data types

The following keyword arguments are supported on all field types.

  • primary_key
  • nullable
  • default
  • server_default
  • index
  • unique

All fields are required unless one of the following is set:

  • nullable - Creates a nullable column. Sets the default to None.
  • default - Set a default value for the field.
  • server_default - Set a default value for the field on server side (like sqlalchemy's func.now()).
  • primary key with autoincrement - When a column is set to primary key and autoincrement is set on this column. Autoincrement is set by default on int primary keys.

Available Model Fields:

  • String(length)
  • Text()
  • Boolean()
  • Integer()
  • Float()
  • Date()
  • Time()
  • DateTime()
  • JSON()
  • BigInteger()
  • Decimal(lenght, precision)
