EventModel

Build type-safe, event-driven Python apps with zero boilerplate. Inspired by FastAPI and SQLModel, EventModel turns Pydantic classes into self-routing events. Just type-hint your inputs to subscribe and use return statements to emit. Pure, clean, and heavily typed.

Installation

uv add python-eventmodel

Quick Start

Define your events, type-hint your handlers, and let the framework handle the routing.

from eventmodel import App, EventModel

app = App()
users_app = App()

# 1. Define events with embedded routing metadata
class UserCreated(EventModel, topic="user.events.created"):
    user_id: int
    email: str

class SendWelcomeEmail(EventModel, topic="email.queue.outbound"):
    target_email: str
    body: str

# 2. Write pure domain logic. 
# The input type dictates the subscription topic.
# The return type dictates the emission topic.
@users_app.service()
async def process_new_user(event: UserCreated) -> SendWelcomeEmail:
    print(f"Processing new user: {event.user_id}")
    return SendWelcomeEmail(
        target_email=event.email, 
        body="Welcome!"
    )

app.include(users_app)

Core Concepts

1. Self-Routing Events: By subclassing EventModel and specifying a topic, your data model intrinsically knows where it belongs on the message broker.
2. Implicit Subscriptions: Handlers use the @service.service() decorator. The framework reads the type-hint of the input argument to determine which topic to subscribe to.
3. Implicit Emissions: Handlers return initialized event objects. The framework automatically intercepts these returns and publishes them to their respective topics.
4. Clean Architecture: Domain functions remain entirely pure. They take an EventModel as input and return an EventModel as output—no broker logic mixed in.
5. Modular Routing: The framework supports Service instances that can be merged into a master App via app.include().
