qlsq 0.0.1

dynamic sql generetor

$(QL)^2$

https://pypi.org/project/qlsq/

qlsq (QL-squared) is library for generating predictable sql queries from lisp-like queries.

• Avoids N + 1 Query problem.
• Lets you controll query complexity
  • prevent filtering by non index columns.
  • only does left joins for required selected fields (it is developers resposibility to ensure 1:1 mapping).
• Allows claim based access controll for each field.
• Does not support nesting (unless implemented in sql)
• Only works with psycopg - generates parametrized queries like SELECT %(param_0)s;

How it looks like:

# 1. Each query will be generated in a context.
# Context is a set of fields and tables definitions.
# This example assumes there exist `user_tasks` and `users` tables.
# Normal application would have multiple contexts.

from qlsq import ContextTable, ContextField, Context, QueryType
tables = [
    ContextTable(
        alias="ut",
        source="user_tasks",
        join_condition=None,
        depends_on=[]
    ),
    ContextTable(
        alias="u",
        source="users",
        join_condition="u.id = ut.user_id",
        depends_on=["ut"]
    ),
]
fields = [
    ContextField(
        alias="full_name",
        source="u.full_name",
        query_type=QueryType.text,
        depends_on=["u"],
        read_claim="r_full_name",
        edit_claim="e_full_name",
        filter_claim="f_full_name",
    ),
    ContextField(
        alias="user_id",
        source="ut.user_id",
        query_type=QueryType.numeric,
        depends_on=["ut"],
        read_claim="r_user_id",
        edit_claim="e_user_id",
        filter_claim="f_user_id",
    ),
]
context = Context(tables, fields)

# 2. write a query (this could be done on a frontend)
lq = [["select", "full_name"], ["where", ["eq", "user_id", 3]]]

# 3. create query object
q = context.parse_query(lq)

# 4. generate sql and params
sql, params = q.to_sql()

# expected sql:
# SELECT u.full_name FROM user_tasks ut LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = ut.user_id WHERE (ut.user_id = %(param_0)s);

# expected params:
# {"param_0": 3}
