Auto loading

Back to doc index

Warning

This feature is deprecated.

It will be removed in version 4.x.

Auto loading will be enabled when D2A_CONFIG["AUTOLOAD"] is specified.

Example:

# This variable can be omitted.
D2A_CONFIG = {
    'AUTOLOAD': { # optional
        # module name: It can be used different module name from `models_sqla`.
        'module': 'models_sqla',  # optional, default: 'models_sqla'
        # transfer function's args after 'exports' arg.
        'option': {  # optional
            'db_type': 'postgresql',  # default: 'default'
            'back_type': 'backref',  # default: 'backref'
        }
    },
}

All apps

You are ready.

Then you can import sqlalchemy model on every apps.

Note

It differs from Code generation.

Auto loaded models will save on in-memory and will not be output to a file.

Example:

>>> from books import models_sqla
>>> models_sqla.  # tab completion
models_sqla.Author(            models_sqla.BookCategory(      models_sqla.CategoryRelation(  models_sqla.transfer(
models_sqla.Book(              models_sqla.Category(          models_sqla.models

>>> models_sqla.Book
<class 'd2a.book'>

>>> models_sqla.Book.  # tab completion
models_sqla.Book.author       models_sqla.Book.content      models_sqla.Book.metadata     models_sqla.Book.tags
models_sqla.Book.author_id    models_sqla.Book.description  models_sqla.Book.mro(         models_sqla.Book.title
models_sqla.Book.category     models_sqla.Book.id           models_sqla.Book.price
# SQL Expression schema
>>> models_sqla.Book.__table__
Table(
  'book', MetaData(bind=None),
  Column('id', UUID(), table=<book>, primary_key=True, nullable=False, default=ColumnDefault(<function uuid4 at 0x7f3cebe7e598>)),
  Column('price', JSON(astext_type=Text()), table=<book>, nullable=False),
  Column('title', VARCHAR(length=255), table=<book>, nullable=False),
  Column('description', TEXT(), table=<book>),
  Column('author_id', INTEGER(), ForeignKey('author.id'), table=<book>),
  Column('content', BYTEA(), table=<book>, nullable=False),
  Column('tags', ARRAY(VARCHAR()), table=<book>, nullable=False),
  schema=None
)

Per models module

If you want to create a module manually, create a models_sqla.py file in an app as follows:

from d2a import transfer
from . import models
transfer(models, globals())

When models_sqla.py exists, auto module creation will be omitted.

And if you create every models_sqla.py manually, it is unnecessary to set d2a to settings.INSTALLED_APPS.

Example:

• project_postgresql/books/models_sqla.py

• You can omit specifying db_type, then it automatically detects a database type from settings.DATABASES['default'].

  • Now postgresql, mysql and oracle are allowed, the other types will be converted to the following types as default type: sqlalchemy/types.py

Per model

If you just want to convert one model, you should use declare function.

Example:

>>> from d2a import declare
>>> from sales.models import Sales
>>> sales = declare(Sales)
>>> sales
<class 'd2a.sales'>

>>> sales.__table__
Table(
  'sales', MetaData(bind=None),
  Column('id', BIGINT(), table=<sales>, primary_key=True, nullable=False),
  Column('book_id', UUID(), ForeignKey('book.id'), table=<sales>, nullable=False),
  Column('sold', TIMESTAMP(), table=<sales>, nullable=False),
  Column('reservation', INTERVAL(), table=<sales>),
  Column('source', INET(), table=<sales>),
  schema=None
)

>>> sales.
sales.book         sales.id           sales.mro(         sales.sold
sales.book_id      sales.metadata     sales.reservation  sales.source
