Eve Peewee extension
A WIP data layer for Eve using peewee
Currently peewee creates tables based on settings.py DOMAIN declarations during start-up and basic Eve CRUD methods work.
Instuctions
python setup.py installorpip install eve-peewee- define DATABASE_URI in settings.py (see examples)
- Eve(data=EvePeewee).run()
Tested
- postgres 9.x, sqlite3
- python 2.7, 3.5
- basic eve functionality (filtering, sorting, pagination, timestamps, etag/if-match, soft delete)
- 1:m data relationships
Untested/TBD
- mysql
- custom validator
- constraints (unique)
- m:m data relationships (atm creates link tables but likely fails to query for embedding)
- versioning fields
Notable caveats
- peewee doesn't do auto-migration (if you change domain models, drop the tables to get them recreated or apply changes in db manually)
- peewee specific field properties can be defined in DOMAIN schema (requires "transparent_schema_rules"), e.g.
'_peewee': { 'primary_key': True } - not all possible error cases are captured to json/xml document, default 500 response may happen
- objectid and media types are unsupported (list and dict types are saved as jsonb)
- many of the mongo centric field properties of eve (anyof, allof etc) are silently ignored
