sqlalchemy-repository 1.1.3

Repository and Django-like QuerySet layers for SQLAlchemy with async support

📦 sqlalchemy-repository

Django-like Repository & QuerySet layer for SQLAlchemy (async-first)

sqlalchemy-repository brings a familiar, expressive, and powerful QuerySet API on top of SQLAlchemy, inspired by Django ORM — but designed for modern async Python.

It helps you write cleaner, composable database logic with support for:

• 🔍 Django-style filtering (Q, F)
• 🔗 Relation traversal via __ syntax
• 📊 Aggregations (Count, Min, Max, etc.)
• ⚡ Async-first design
• 🧱 Repository patterns
• 🧠 Type-safe and extensible

---

🚀 Features

• QuerySet API

  await repo.objects.filter(Q(price__gt=100) & Q(active=True)).all()
  

• Django-style lookups

  Q(name__icontains="bmw")
  Q(category__parent__id=1)
  

• F expressions (field references)

  await repo.objects.update(price=F("price") * 1.1)
  

• Aggregations

  await repo.objects.annotate(total=Count("id"), max_price=Max("price"))
  

• Annotations

  await repo.objects.annotate(total=F("qty") * F("unit_price"))
  

• Async support (SQLAlchemy 2.0+)

• Composable query expressions

• Repository pattern abstraction

---

📦 Installation

pip install sqlalchemy-repository

---

⚙️ Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• SQLAlchemy 2.0+

🏗 Basic Usage

Define repository

from sqlalchemy_repository import BaseRepository

class ProductRepository(BaseRepository[Product]):
    model = Product

---

Querying

products = await repo.objects.filter(
    Q(price__gt=100),
    Q(category__name="Engine")
).order_by("-price").all()

---

Get single object

product = await repo.objects.get(id=1)

---

Create

await repo.create(
    name="Brake Pad",
    price=50
)

---

Update with F expressions

await repo.objects.filter(id=1).update(
    price=F("price") * 1.2
)

---

Delete

await repo.objects.filter(price__lt=10).delete()

---

🔗 Relationships via __

await repo.objects.filter(
    category__parent__name="Auto Parts"
)

No manual joins needed — handled internally.

---

🔍 Q Expressions

from sqlalchemy_repository import Q

query = Q(price__gt=100) & (Q(stock__lt=5) | Q(discount=True))

await repo.objects.filter(query).all()

---

🧮 Aggregations

from sqlalchemy_repository import Count, Max

result = await repo.objects.annotate(
    total=Count("id"),
    max_price=Max("price")
)

---

🏷 Annotations

qs = repo.objects.annotate(
    total_price=F("quantity") * F("unit_price")
)

data = await qs.all()
