Core utilities and base classes for the laag Python library

pylaag-core

Core utilities and base classes for the laag Python library.

Overview

pylaag-core provides the foundational components used by all laag packages, including:

• Base classes for API document handlers
• Error handling system
• Utility functions for nested object navigation
• Extension property support

This package is typically installed as a dependency of other laag packages and is not used directly in most cases.

Installation

pip install pylaag-core

Features

• LaagBase: Abstract base class for all API document handlers
• Error Classes: Comprehensive exception hierarchy (LaagError, ValidationError, ParseError, NotFoundError)
• Utility Functions: Helper functions for working with nested dictionaries
• Extension Properties: Support for x-* custom properties in API documents
• Type Safety: Full type hints for static analysis

Usage

Base Class

from pylaag_core import LaagBase

class MyDocument(LaagBase):
    def validate(self) -> None:
        # Implement validation logic
        if 'required_field' not in self._document:
            raise ValidationError("Missing required field")

Error Handling

from pylaag_core import ValidationError, ParseError, NotFoundError

try:
    doc.validate()
except ValidationError as e:
    print(f"Validation failed: {e}")
    print(f"Context: {e.context}")

Utility Functions

from pylaag_core import get_nested, set_nested, delete_nested

data = {'a': {'b': {'c': 1}}}

# Get nested value
value = get_nested(data, 'a.b.c')  # Returns 1

# Set nested value
set_nested(data, 'a.b.d', 2)  # data['a']['b']['d'] = 2

# Delete nested value
deleted = delete_nested(data, 'a.b.c')  # Returns True

Extension Properties

from pylaag_core import LaagBase

doc = MyDocument()

# Set extension property
doc.set_extension('x-custom', {'key': 'value'})

# Get extension property
custom = doc.get_extension('x-custom')

# Remove extension property
doc.remove_extension('x-custom')

API Reference

Classes

LaagBase

Abstract base class for all API document handlers.

Methods:

• validate() -> None: Validate the document (must be implemented by subclasses)
• get_extension(key: str) -> Optional[Any]: Get an extension property value
• set_extension(key: str, value: Any) -> None: Set an extension property value
• remove_extension(key: str) -> None: Remove an extension property
• to_dict() -> Dict[str, Any]: Convert to dictionary representation

LaagError

Base exception class for all laag errors.

Attributes:

• context: Dict[str, Any]: Additional context information about the error

ValidationError

Raised when document validation fails.

ParseError

Raised when document parsing fails.

NotFoundError

Raised when a requested resource is not found.

Functions

get_nested

def get_nested(obj: Dict[str, Any], path: str, default: Any = None) -> Any

Get a nested value from a dictionary using dot notation.

Parameters:

• obj: The dictionary to search
• path: Dot-separated path (e.g., 'a.b.c')
• default: Default value if path not found

Returns: The value at the path, or default if not found

set_nested

def set_nested(obj: Dict[str, Any], path: str, value: Any) -> None

Set a nested value in a dictionary using dot notation.

Parameters:

• obj: The dictionary to modify
• path: Dot-separated path (e.g., 'a.b.c')
• value: Value to set

delete_nested

def delete_nested(obj: Dict[str, Any], path: str) -> bool

Delete a nested value from a dictionary using dot notation.

Parameters:

• obj: The dictionary to modify
• path: Dot-separated path (e.g., 'a.b.c')

Returns: True if the value was deleted, False if not found

Requirements

• Python 3.10 or higher
