Features

No Keys Required

Planka models have all been implemented as Python objects. This means that you can access all the properties of a resource as if it were a Python object:

project.name
>>> 'Project 1'

project.managers
>>> [User(id=1, username='username', ...), User(id=2, username='username2', ...), ...]

Disambiguation of resource attributes and methods

All models have type hints for every property and attribute, meaning you don't have to guess what a method or property will return. When using a modern IDE, this allows for extensive code completion and prevents you from having to remember what every property and method returns.

Synced by Default

All included resources are accessible through object properties that send out a request to the server when accessed. This means that you can access up to date information about a resource without having to manually refresh it.

list1 = board.lists[0]
list2 = board.lists[1]

list1.cards
>>> [Card(id=1, name='Card 1', ...), Card(id=2, name='Card 2', ...)]

list2.cards
>>> []

list1.cards[0].move(list2)

list1.cards
>>> [Card(id=2, name='Card 2', ...)]

list2.cards
>>> [Card(id=1, name='Card 1', ...)]

Edit with Context

Because all stored objects maintain the attributes assigned to them on their creation, direct attribute editing is not synced with the server resource. To mitigate this a .editor() context manager is provided that refreshes the resource on entry and updates the resource on exit.

Direct editing of attributes fails to update the resource

c1 = list1.cards[0]
c1.name = "New Name"
c1.name
>>> 'New Name'

# Get the resource again to see that the name has not changed
c2 = list1.cards[0]
c2.name
>>> 'Card 1'

Context editing updates the resource after exiting the context

c1 = list1.cards[0]
with c1.editor():
    c1.name = "New Name"

c1.name
>>> 'New Name'

# Get the resource again to see that the name has changed
c2 = list1.cards[0]

c2.name
>>> 'New Name'

Usage

Getting started with plankapy is as simple as creating a Planka object and passing it your authentication method. From there, you can access all the resources available to your logged in user account.

from plankapy import Planka, PasswordAuth

planka = Planka("https://planka.example.com", PasswordAuth("username", "password"))

planka.me
>>> User(id=1, username='username', ...)

planka.projects
>>> [Project(id=1, name='Project 1', ...), Project(id=2, name='Project 2', ...), ...]
