sirqle 0.1.1

SurrealDB Query interface

Sirqle

Surreal DB with Python wrapper for surrealdb.py which makes it easy to write SurrealQL queries in Python.

Install with:

pip install sirqle

Usage:

from sirqle.query import Config, Query

config = Config(
        url = "localhost:8000",
        namespace = "test",
        database = "test",
        username = "test",
        password = "test",
)
my_query = Query(config=config)

table_name = "person"
cont = {
    "name": "Tobie",
    "company": "SurrealDB",
    "skills": ["Rust", "Go", "JavaScript"],
}
my_query.create(table_name).content(cont)
response = await my_query.execute()

# the result

response = [{'company': 'SurrealDB', 'id': 'person:it2e579rij23zu0iswk4', 'name': 'Tobie', 'skills': ['Rust', 'Go', 'JavaScript']}]

Config Module

The Config class is used to configure the connection the database. It uses the HTTPClient and requires the following arguments depending on the desired method:

1.Manually enter the params

• url : URL of the database
• namespace : The namespace of the database
• database : The name of the database
• username : The access username
• password : The access password

2.Pass a previous defined client

• client : an HTTPClient configured beforehand

3.Load the params from an .env file

• from_env: if it set to True then it expects a .db_conf file where all the previous arguments are defined

Query Module

The Query module aims to replace the standard SurrealQL and make it more Python friendly. Internally it constructs a SurrealQL string from method chaining and sends the query to the database.

Initialize the query

query = Query(config)

Create examples

Create a new entry:

CREATE person CONTENT {
name: 'Tobie',
company: 'SurrealDB',
skills: ['Rust', 'Go', 'JavaScript']
};

becomes

table_name = "person"
cont = {
    "name": "Tobie",
    "company": "SurrealDB",
    "skills": ["Rust", "Go", "JavaScript"],
}
create_query.create(table_name).content(cont)

Insert example

INSERT INTO person (name, company, founded) VALUES ('John', 'SurrealDB', '2021-09-10');

becomes

table_name = "person (name, company, founded)"
data = tuple(["John", "SurrealDB", "2021-09-10"])
insert_query.insert(table_name, values=data)

Select example

SELECT * FROM person;

becomes

query.select("*").from_("person")

Execution

To execute the query run res = await query.execute(), where res is the result of the query.

Custom query example

If you need something more complex than the basic operations, you can directly pass an SurrealQL query as a string:

This query creates a temporary entry in the table Topic where we hash the values of topic_label and topic_source, returns the hash value and then delete the table.

table_name = "Topic"
topic_label = "SurrealDB is awesome"
topic_source = "My personal knowledge"
my_query.custom( f"create {table_name} content"
                + f" {{words: {topic_label}, source: {topic_source}}}"
                + f" return crypto::md5(string::concat($this.words, $this.source));"
                + f" delete from {table_name};")
response = await my_query.execute()
response = {"crypto::md5": "8f23a9630e18d525946740e5498798be"}
