## High level overview
|
||||
|
||||
Ormar is divided into packages for maintainability and ease of development.
|
||||
|
||||
Below you can find a short description of the structure of the whole project and
|
||||
individual packages.
|
||||
|
||||
### Models
|
||||
|
||||
Contains the actual `ormar.Model` class, which is based on:
|
||||
|
||||
* `ormar.NewBaseModel` which in turns:
|
||||
* inherits from `pydantic.BaseModel`,
|
||||
* uses `ormar.ModelMetaclass` for all heavy lifting, relations declaration,
|
||||
parsing `ormar` fields, creating `sqlalchemy` columns and tables etc.
|
||||
* There is a lot of tasks during class creation so `ormar` is using a lot of
|
||||
`helpers` methods separated by functionality: `pydantic`, `sqlachemy`,
|
||||
`relations` & `models` located in `helpers` submodule.
|
||||
* inherits from `ormar.ModelTableProxy` that combines `Mixins` providing a special
|
||||
additional behavior for `ormar.Models`
|
||||
* `AliasMixin` - handling of column aliases, which are names changed only in db
|
||||
* `ExcludableMixin` - handling excluding and including fields in dict() and database calls
|
||||
* `MergeModelMixin` - handling merging Models initialized from raw sql raws into Models that needs to be merged,
|
||||
in example parent models in join query that duplicates in raw response.
|
||||
* `PrefetchQueryMixin` - handling resolving relations and ids of models to extract during issuing
|
||||
subsequent queries in prefetch_related
|
||||
* `RelationMixin` - handling resolving relations names, related fields etc.
|
||||
* `SavePrepareMixin` - handling converting related models to their pk values, translating ormar field
|
||||
names into aliases etc.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fields
|
||||
|
||||
Contains `ormar.BaseField` that is a base for all fields.
|
||||
|
||||
All basic types are declared in `model_fields`, while relation fields are located in:
|
||||
|
||||
* `foreign_key`: `ForeignKey` relation, expanding relations meaning initializing nested models,
|
||||
creating dummy models with pk only that skips validation etc.
|
||||
* `many_to_many`: `ManyToMany` relation that do not have a lot of logic on its own.
|
||||
|
||||
Related to fields is a `@property_field` decorator that is located in `decorators.property_field`.
|
||||
|
||||
There is also a special UUID field declaration for `sqlalchemy` that is based on `CHAR` field type.
|
||||
|
||||
### Query Set
|
||||
|
||||
Package that handles almost all interactions with db (some small parts are in `ormar.Model` and in `ormar.QuerysetProxy`).
|
||||
|
||||
Provides a `QuerySet` that is exposed on each Model as `objects` property.
|
||||
|
||||
Have a vast number of methods to query, filter, create, update and delete database rows.
|
||||
|
||||
* Actual construction of the queries is delegated to `Query` class
|
||||
* which in tern uses `SqlJoin` to construct joins
|
||||
* `Clause` to convert `filter` and `exclude` conditions into sql
|
||||
* `FilterQuery` to apply filter clauses on query
|
||||
* `OrderQuery` to apply order by clauses on query
|
||||
* `LimitQuery` to apply limit clause on query
|
||||
* `OffsetQuery` to apply offset clause on query
|
||||
* For prefetch_related the same is done by `PrefetchQuery`
|
||||
* Common helpers functions are extracted into `utils`
|
||||
|
||||
### Relations
|
||||
|
||||
Handles registering relations, adding/removing to relations as well as returning the
|
||||
actual related models instead of relation fields declared on Models.
|
||||
|
||||
* Each `ormar.Model` has its own `RelationManager` registered under `_orm` property.
|
||||
* `RelationManager` handles `Relations` between two different models
|
||||
* In case of reverse relations or m2m relations the `RelationProxy` is used which
|
||||
is basically a list with some special methods that keeps a reference to a list of related models
|
||||
* Also, for reverse relations and m2m relations `QuerySetProxy` is exposed, that is
|
||||
used to query the already pre-filtered related models and handles Through models
|
||||
instances for m2m relations, while delegating actual queries to `QuerySet`
|
||||
* `AliasManager` handles registration of aliases for relations that are used in queries.
|
||||
In order to be able to link multiple times to the same table in one query each link
|
||||
has to have unique alias to properly identify columns and extract proper values.
|
||||
Kind of global registry, aliases are randomly generated, so might differ on each run.
|
||||
* Common helpers functions are extracted into `utils`
|
||||
|
||||
### Signals
|
||||
|
||||
Handles sending signals on particular events.
|
||||
|
||||
* `SignalEmitter` is registered on each `ormar.Model`, that allows to register any number of
|
||||
receiver functions that will be notified on each event.
|
||||
* For now only combination of (pre, post) (save, update, delete) events are pre populated for user
|
||||
although it's easy to register user `Signal`s.
|
||||
* set of decorators is prepared, each corresponding to one of the builtin signals,
|
||||
that can be used to mark functions/methods that should become receivers, those decorators
|
||||
are located in `decorators.signals`.
|
||||
* You can register same function to different `ormar.Models` but each Model has it's own
|
||||
Emitter that is independednt and issued on events for given Model.
|
||||
* Currently, there is no way to register global `Signal` triggered for all models.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exceptions
|
||||
|
||||
Gathers all exceptions specific to `ormar`.
|
||||
|
||||
All `ormar` exceptions inherit from `AsyncOrmException`.

That might sound complicated but let's look at the following example:

and model fields for Person owned cars would become `owned_trucks` and `owned_buses`.
|
||||
|
||||
### ManyToMany relations
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, you can inherit from Models that have ManyToMany relations declared but
|
||||
there is one, but substantial difference - the Through model.
|
||||
|
||||
Since in the future the Through model will be able to hold additional fields and now it links only two Tables
|
||||
(`from` and `to` ones), each child that inherits the m2m relation field has to have separate
|
||||
Through model.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, you can overwrite the relation in each Child model, but that requires additional
|
||||
code and undermines the point of the whole inheritance. `Ormar` will handle this for you if
|
||||
you agree with default naming convention, which you can always manually overwrite in
|
||||
children if needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Again, let's look at the example to easier grasp the concepts.
|
||||
|
||||
We will modify the previous example described above to use m2m relation for co_owners.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# person remain the same as above
|
||||
class Person(ormar.Model):
|
||||
class Meta:
|
||||
metadata = metadata
|
||||
database = db
|
||||
|
||||
id: int = ormar.Integer(primary_key=True)
|
||||
name: str = ormar.String(max_length=100)
|
||||
|
||||
# new through model between Person and Car2
|
||||
class PersonsCar(ormar.Model):
|
||||
class Meta:
|
||||
tablename = "cars_x_persons"
|
||||
metadata = metadata
|
||||
database = db
|
||||
|
||||
# note how co_owners is now ManyToMany relation
|
||||
class Car2(ormar.Model):
|
||||
class Meta:
|
||||
# parent class needs to be marked abstract
|
||||
abstract = True
|
||||
metadata = metadata
|
||||
database = db
|
||||
|
||||
id: int = ormar.Integer(primary_key=True)
|
||||
name: str = ormar.String(max_length=50)
|
||||
# note the related_name - needs to be unique across Person
|
||||
# model, regardless of how many different models leads to Person
|
||||
owner: Person = ormar.ForeignKey(Person, related_name="owned")
|
||||
co_owners: List[Person] = ormar.ManyToMany(
|
||||
Person, through=PersonsCar, related_name="coowned"
|
||||
)
|
||||
created_date: datetime.datetime = ormar.DateTime(default=datetime.datetime.now)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# child models define only additional Fields
|
||||
class Truck2(Car2):
|
||||
class Meta:
|
||||
# note how you don't have to provide inherited Meta params
|
||||
tablename = "trucks2"
|
||||
|
||||
max_capacity: int = ormar.Integer()
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
class Bus2(Car2):
|
||||
class Meta:
|
||||
tablename = "buses2"
|
||||
|
||||
max_persons: int = ormar.Integer()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`Ormar` automatically modifies related_name of the fields to include the **table** name
|
||||
of the children models. The dafault name is original related_name + '_' + child table name.
|
||||
|
||||
That way for class Truck2 the relation defined in
|
||||
`owner: Person = ormar.ForeignKey(Person, related_name="owned")` becomes `owned_trucks2`
|
||||
|
||||
You can verify the names by inspecting the list of fields present on `Person` model.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
Person.Meta.model_fields
|
||||
{
|
||||
# note how all relation fields need to be unique on Person
|
||||
# regardless if autogenerated or manually overwritten
|
||||
'id': <class 'ormar.fields.model_fields.Integer'>,
|
||||
'name': <class 'ormar.fields.model_fields.String'>,
|
||||
# note that we expanded on previous example so all 'old' fields are here
|
||||
'trucks': <class 'ormar.fields.foreign_key.ForeignKey'>,
|
||||
'coowned_trucks': <class 'ormar.fields.foreign_key.ForeignKey'>,
|
||||
'buses': <class 'ormar.fields.foreign_key.ForeignKey'>,
|
||||
'coowned_buses': <class 'ormar.fields.foreign_key.ForeignKey'>,
|
||||
# newly defined related fields
|
||||
'owned_trucks2': <class 'ormar.fields.foreign_key.ForeignKey'>,
|
||||
'coowned_trucks2': <class 'abc.ManyToMany'>,
|
||||
'owned_buses2': <class 'ormar.fields.foreign_key.ForeignKey'>,
|
||||
'coowned_buses2': <class 'abc.ManyToMany'>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
But that's not all. It's kind of internal to `ormar` but affects the data structure in the database,
|
||||
so let's examine the through models for both `Bus2` and `Truck2` models.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
Bus2.Meta.model_fields['co_owners'].through
|
||||
<class 'abc.PersonsCarBus2'>
|
||||
Bus2.Meta.model_fields['co_owners'].through.Meta.tablename
|
||||
'cars_x_persons_buses2'
|
||||
|
||||
Truck2.Meta.model_fields['co_owners'].through
|
||||
<class 'abc.PersonsCarTruck2'>
|
||||
Truck2.Meta.model_fields['co_owners'].through.Meta.tablename
|
||||
'cars_x_persons_trucks2'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see above `ormar` cloned the Through model for each of the Child classes and added
|
||||
Child **class** name at the end, while changing the table names of the cloned fields
|
||||
the name of the **table** from the child is used.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that original model is not only not used, the table for this model is removed from metadata:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
Bus2.Meta.metadata.tables.keys()
|
||||
dict_keys(['test_date_models', 'categories', 'subjects', 'persons', 'trucks', 'buses',
|
||||
'cars_x_persons_trucks2', 'trucks2', 'cars_x_persons_buses2', 'buses2'])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
So be aware that if you introduce inheritance along the way and convert a model into
|
||||
abstract parent model you may lose your data on through table if not careful.
|
||||
|
||||
!!!note
|
||||
Note that original table name and model name of the Through model is never used.
|
||||
Only the cloned models tables are created and used.
|
||||
|
||||
!!!warning
|
||||
Note that each subclass of the Model that has `ManyToMany` relation defined generates
|
||||
a new `Through` model, meaning also **new database table**.
|
||||
|
||||
That means that each time you define a Child model you need to either manually create
|
||||
the table in the database, or run a migration (with alembic).
