Introduction

Pynamodb Utils is a collection of small helper functions, utilities and classes which make common patterns easier. It helped me make my job easier in the past.

Tests pypi

Examples are:

  • Models with automatic updated_at, created_at and deleted_at fields
  • Attributes for enums and dynamic mappings
  • Class with methods that allow to generate from JSON/dict query/scan conditions

To install:

Run pip install pynamodb-utils or execute python setup.py install in the source directory

Example of Usage

To setup pynamodb models with authomaticly generated timestamps and useful functions allowing serialization of scan conditions from JSON input from API.

from datetime import timezone, datetime
from pynamodb.attributes import UnicodeAttribute
from pynamodb_utils import DynamicMapAttribute, AsDictModel,
JSONQueryModel, TimestampedModel


class CategoryEnum(enum.Enum):
    finance = enum.auto()
    politics = enum.auto()

class PostCategoryCreatedAtGSI(GlobalSecondaryIndex):
    category = EnumAttribute(hash_key=True, enum=CategoryEnum)
    created_at = UTCDateTimeAttribute(range_key=True)

    class Meta:
        index_name = "example-index-name"
        projection = AllProjection

class Post(AsDictModel, JSONQueryModel, TimestampedModel):
    name = UnicodeAttribute(hash_key=True)
    sub_name = UnicodeAttribute(range_key=True)
    category = EnumAttribute(enum=CategoryEnum, default=CategoryEnum.finance)
    content = UnicodeAttribute()
    tags = DynamicMapAttribute(default={})
    category_created_at_gsi = PostCategoryCreatedAtGSI()

    class Meta:
        table_name = 'example-table-name'
        TZINFO = timezone.utc

Post.create_table(read_capacity_units=10, write_capacity_units=10)

post = Post(
    name='A weekly news.',
    sub_name='Shocking revelations',
    content='Last week took place...',
    category=CategoryEnum.finance,
    tags={
        "type": "news",
        "topics": ["stock exchange", "NYSE"]
    }
)
post.save()

condition = Post.make_index_query(
    query={
        "created_at__lte": str(datetime.now()),
        "sub_name__exists": None,
        "category__equals": "finance",
        "OR": {"tags.type__equals": "news", "tags.topics__contains": ["NYSE"]},
    }
) # class method executes query on the most optimal index
print(next(results).as_dict())

That lines of code should result with following output

{
        'name': 'A weekly news.',
        'created_at': '2019-01-01 00:00:00+00:00',
        'updated_at': '2019-01-01 00:00:00+00:00',
        'deleted_at': None,
        'content': 'Last week took place...',
        'tags': {
            'type': 'news',
            'topics': ['stock exchange', 'NYSE']
        }
    }
