pydotmap

This package is just a wrapper to python standard library dict and OrderedDict from pythoncollections library with support of pickling and unpickling. It will also make you able to use decorator that will save your time to convert dict definition param to pydotmap. It will allow you to use python dict or dictionary as dot notation just like javascript object.

How to initialize?

author = DotMap(name="Atul", surname="Singh")

Or

from pydotmap import DotMap

author = DotMap()
author.name = "Atul"
author.surname = "Singh"

Or

from pydotmap import DotMap

author = DotMap({"name": "Atul", "surname": "Singh"})
print(author.name, author.surname)

How to use?

from pydotmap import DotMap
from pydotmap import OrderedDotMap


author = DotMap(name="Atul", surname="Singh", addr=["country": "India"])
print(author.name)
print(author.surname)
del author.surname
print(author.surname)
print(author.get("surname", "singh"))  # you can use your default value same as dict
print(author.addr[0].country)


# Ordered Map - This will maintain the order of your dictionary

author = OrderedDotMap(name="atul", surname="singh", addr=[{"country": "India"}])
print(author)

You can pickle it also. How?

from pydotmap import DotMap
import pickle

author = DotMap(name="Atul")

print(pickle.dumps(author))

OUTPUT

b'\x80\x04\x952\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x8c\x0epydotmap.pymap\x94\x8c\x06DotMap\x94\x93\x94)\x81\x94\x8c\x04name\x94\x8c\x04Atul\x94sh\x03b.'

you can use OrderedDotMap same way as DotMap to create pickle dump

How to use pydotmap decorator?

from pydotmap import dotmap, ordered_dotmap

value = {"author": "atul"}


@dotmap
def check_dotmap_decorator(in_value):
    return in_value.author

print(check_dotmap_decorator(value))


@ordered_dotmap
def check_orderedmap_decorator(in_value):
    return in_value.author

print(check_orderedmap_decorator(value))
