• Service Registry - Dynamic class registration and factory loading
• Container Classes - Type-safe configuration and data containers

Validation & Forms

• Comprehensive Validators - 30+ built-in validators including new int and idlist validators
• Form Processing - Request validation with nested records and custom error messages
• Input Filters - Transform and sanitize input data

Security

• Cryptography - Secure password hashing with BCrypt and Fernet256 encryption
• Redis Cache Security - Built-in encryption support for sensitive cached data
• Security Policy - Comprehensive security guidelines and best practices

Resource Management

• Configuration Loading - Environment variables and JSON file configuration
• Redis Integration - Full-featured cache facade with optional encryption
• Stream Processing - Multipart stream reader with seek support
• Console Utilities - Colored console output helpers

Installation

pip install rick

Quick Start

Basic Dependency Injection

from rick.base import Di

# Register dependencies
di = Di()
di.add(MyService)
di.add('config', {'api_key': 'secret'})

# Retrieve instances
service = di.get(MyService)
config = di.get('config')

Form Validation

from rick.form import RequestRecord, Field

class UserForm(RequestRecord):
    fields = {
        'username': Field(validators='required|string|min:3|max:20'),
        'email': Field(validators='required|email'),
        'age': Field(validators='required|int|min:18'),
        'friend_ids': Field(validators='idlist')  # New validator
    }

form = UserForm()
if form.is_valid(request_data):
    user_data = form.get_data()
else:
    errors = form.get_errors()

Secure Redis Cache

from rick.resource.redis import CryptRedisCache

# Encrypted cache for sensitive data
cache = CryptRedisCache(
    key='your-64-char-encryption-key',
    host='localhost',
    port=6379
)

cache.set('user:123', sensitive_data, ttl=3600)
data = cache.get('user:123')

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Redis (for cache features)
