ravendb-embedded 7.2.1

RavenDB Embedded library to run RavenDB in an embedded way

Overview

ravendb-embedded is a RavenDB package for running RavenDB in embedded mode.

EmbeddedServer().start_server()
with EmbeddedServer().get_document_store("Embedded") as store:
    with store.open_session() as session:
        session.store(User(name="Ilay", age=4))
        session.save_changes()

Installation

Install ravendb-embedded from PyPi using:

pip install ravendb-embedded

Installing ravendb-embedded from pip will also provide you with a copy of the RavenDB server binary files.

Usage

Start a server

To start the RavenDB server, call the start_server() method from an EmbeddedServer instance.

EmbeddedServer.start_server()

For more control over your server, you can pass server_options to the start_server() method.

ServerOptions

• framework_version: The framework version to run the server with.

• data_directory: Where to save the database data (if None, the files will be saved in the RavenDB folder in the base folder).

• server_url: The URL the server will be opened on (if None, the server will open on localhost).

• dotnet_path: The location of dotnet.exe (if .NET Core is not installed on your machine, you can download dotnet binaries and provide the path).

• command_line_args: A list of all server command arguments.

server_options = ServerOptions(data_directory="MYPATH/RavenDBDataDir")
EmbeddedServer().start_server(server_options)

Security

You can secure ravendb-embedded using the secured() method:

secured(server_pfx_certificate_path, client_pem_certificate_path, server_pfx_certificate_password=None, ca_certificate_path=None)

• Provide the path to .pfx and .pem files, and optionally a password and CA certificate file.

• Minimal setup requires both a .pfx server and a .pem client certificate.

Get Document Store

After initializing and starting the server, you can use the get_document_store method to obtain a DocumentStore and start working with RavenDB as usual.

get_document_store method can take either just the database_name or DatabaseOptions.

DatabaseOptions

• database_name: The name of the database.

• skip_creating_database: get_document_store will create a new database if it does not exist. If this option is set to True, the database won’t be created (Default False).

Open RavenDB Studio in the Browser

To open RavenDB Studio from ravendb-embedded, use the open_studio_in_browser method, and the studio will open automatically in your default browser.
