Feature inclusion: 'undictify' function
davidjb opened this issue · 8 comments
I've written most of an 'undictify' (world's worst name) function that given an appstruct (eg from Deform) and a ColanderAlchemy-mapped schema, returns a fully-formed SQLAlchemy model, deserialisng the appstruct and restoring it into the relevant mapped SQLAlchemy models (for new objects) and/or setting a given object's attributes accordingly (for updating existing objects in a database).
Sound like a good feature for inclusion as a function on the mapped CA schema? If so, I'll make a pull request once I'm finished.
I am flying to San Francisco. I will replay as soon as possible :)
Thank you for the effort :)

I think it is a great feature. I did a similar method in a job for one of my customers. Unfortunately I didn't include it in the master branch.
Please, send the PR to show me the code and discuss it :)
Any update?
+1 for this feature. It's far more robust than having to do
appstruct = myform.validate(controls)
DBSession.add(Clinician(**appstruct))+1 from me too! Has there been any progress?
I've got some code, but it still needs a bit of adjustment (and tests written). I'll see what I can put together early next week when I'm back at my desk.
Great! I will add in next release.
