ORM

Build Status Coverage Package version

The orm package is an async ORM for Python, with support for Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite. ORM is built with:

Because ORM is built on SQLAlchemy core, you can use Alembic to provide database migrations.

ORM is still under development: We recommend pinning any dependencies with orm~=0.1

Note: Use ipython to try this from the console, since it supports await.

import databases
import orm
import sqlalchemy

database = databases.Database("sqlite:///db.sqlite")
metadata = sqlalchemy.MetaData()


class Note(orm.Model):
    __tablename__ = "notes"
    __database__ = database
    __metadata__ = metadata

    id = orm.Integer(primary_key=True)
    text = orm.String(max_length=100)
    completed = orm.Boolean(default=False)

# Create the database
engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine(str(database.url))
metadata.create_all(engine)

# .create()
await Note.objects.create(text="Buy the groceries.", completed=False)
await Note.objects.create(text="Call Mum.", completed=True)
await Note.objects.create(text="Send invoices.", completed=True)

# .all()
notes = await Note.objects.all()

# .filter()
notes = await Note.objects.filter(completed=True).all()

# exact, iexact, contains, icontains, lt, lte, gt, gte, in
notes = await Note.objects.filter(text__icontains="mum").all()

# .get()
note = await Note.objects.get(id=1)

# .update()
await note.update(completed=True)

# .delete()
await note.delete()

# 'pk' always refers to the primary key
note = await Note.objects.get(pk=2)
note.pk  # 2

ORM supports loading and filtering across foreign keys...

# Load the relationship from the database

# This time, fetch an instance, loading the foreign key relationship.

Data types

The following keyword arguments are supported on all field types.

  • primary_key
  • allow_null
  • default
  • index
  • unique

All fields are required unless one of the following is set:

  • allow_null - Creates a nullable column. Sets the default to None.
  • allow_blank - Allow empty strings to validate. Sets the default to "".
  • default - Set a default value for the field.

The following column types are supported. See TypeSystem for type-specific validation keyword arguments.

  • orm.String(max_length)
  • orm.Text()
  • orm.Boolean()
  • orm.Integer()
  • orm.Float()
  • orm.Date()
  • orm.Time()
  • orm.DateTime()
  • orm.JSON()
