Partial Table Models for SQLAlchemy

SQLAlchemy Partial Tables

Partial Tables for SQLAlchemy

Installation

pip install partial-table

Scenario

Let's say you have 2 tables, business_draft and business.

business_draft and business have the same fields, but business_draft should allow most fields to be nullable.

Any business can freely update its draft, but only approved modifications get copied over to business.

How can we implement this and reduce redundancy?

Usage

Any field marked with PartialAllowed will be nullable in the partial table, and required in the complete table.

Example

from typing import Annotated
from abc import ABC
from sqlmodel import Field, SQLModel
from partial_table import PartialBase, PartialAllowed, PartialTable

class Base(ABC, SQLModel):
    """Base class for all models."""

    id: int = Field(primary_key=True, sa_column_kwargs={"autoincrement": True})


class BusinessBase(PartialBase, Base):
    """Base class for all business models."""

    business_name: str
    city: Annotated[str, PartialAllowed()] = Field()
    address: Annotated[str, PartialAllowed()] = Field()


class BusinessDraft(BusinessBase, PartialTable, table=True):
    __tablename__ = "business_draft"


class Business(BusinessBase, table=True):
    __tablename__ = "business"

Business has all required fields, and BusinessDraft has every field marked with PartialAllowed as nullable.
