# models.newbasemodel ## NewBaseModel Objects ```python class NewBaseModel(pydantic.BaseModel, ModelTableProxy, metaclass=ModelMetaclass) ``` Main base class of ormar Model. Inherits from pydantic BaseModel and has all mixins combined in ModelTableProxy. Constructed with ModelMetaclass which in turn also inherits pydantic metaclass. Abstracts away all internals and helper functions, so final Model class has only the logic concerned with database connection and data persistance. #### \_\_init\_\_ ```python | __init__(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> None ``` Initializer that creates a new ormar Model that is also pydantic Model at the same time. Passed keyword arguments can be only field names and their corresponding values as those will be passed to pydantic validation that will complain if extra params are passed. If relations are defined each relation is expanded and children models are also initialized and validated. Relation from both sides is registered so you can access related models from both sides. Json fields are automatically loaded/dumped if needed. Models marked as abstract=True in internal Meta class cannot be initialized. Accepts also special __pk_only__ flag that indicates that Model is constructed only with primary key value (so no other fields, it's a child model on other Model), that causes skipping the validation, that's the only case when the validation can be skipped. Accepts also special __excluded__ parameter that contains a set of fields that should be explicitly set to None, as otherwise pydantic will try to populate them with their default values if default is set. **Raises**: - `ModelError`: if abstract model is initialized, model has ForwardRefs that has not been updated or unknown field is passed **Arguments**: - `args` (`Any`): ignored args - `kwargs` (`Any`): keyword arguments - all fields values and some special params #### \_\_setattr\_\_ ```python | __setattr__(name: str, value: Any) -> None ``` Overwrites setattr in pydantic parent as otherwise descriptors are not called. **Arguments**: - `name` (`str`): name of the attribute to set - `value` (`Any`): value of the attribute to set **Returns**: `None`: None #### \_\_getattr\_\_ ```python | __getattr__(item: str) -> Any ``` Used only to silence mypy errors for Through models and reverse relations. Not used in real life as in practice calls are intercepted by RelationDescriptors **Arguments**: - `item` (`str`): name of attribute **Returns**: `Any`: Any #### \_internal\_set ```python | _internal_set(name: str, value: Any) -> None ``` Delegates call to pydantic. **Arguments**: - `name` (`str`): name of param - `value` (`Any`): value to set #### \_verify\_model\_can\_be\_initialized ```python | _verify_model_can_be_initialized() -> None ``` Raises exception if model is abstract or has ForwardRefs in relation fields. **Returns**: `None`: None #### \_process\_kwargs ```python | _process_kwargs(kwargs: Dict) -> Tuple[Dict, Dict] ``` Initializes nested models. Removes property_fields Checks if field is in the model fields or pydatnic fields. Nullifies fields that should be excluded. Extracts through models from kwargs into temporary dict. **Arguments**: - `kwargs` (`Dict`): passed to init keyword arguments **Returns**: `Tuple[Dict, Dict]`: modified kwargs #### \_initialize\_internal\_attributes ```python | _initialize_internal_attributes() -> None ``` Initializes internal attributes during __init__() **Returns**: `None`: #### \_\_eq\_\_ ```python | __eq__(other: object) -> bool ``` Compares other model to this model. when == is called. **Arguments**: - `other` (`object`): other model to compare **Returns**: `bool`: result of comparison #### \_\_same\_\_ ```python | __same__(other: "NewBaseModel") -> bool ``` Used by __eq__, compares other model to this model. Compares: * _orm_ids, * primary key values if it's set * dictionary of own fields (excluding relations) **Arguments**: - `other` (`NewBaseModel`): model to compare to **Returns**: `bool`: result of comparison #### get\_name ```python | @classmethod | get_name(cls, lower: bool = True) -> str ``` Returns name of the Model class, by default lowercase. **Arguments**: - `lower` (`bool`): flag if name should be set to lowercase **Returns**: `str`: name of the model #### pk\_column ```python | @property | pk_column() -> sqlalchemy.Column ``` Retrieves primary key sqlalchemy column from models Meta.table. Each model has to have primary key. Only one primary key column is allowed. **Returns**: `sqlalchemy.Column`: primary key sqlalchemy column #### saved ```python | @property | saved() -> bool ``` Saved status of the model. Changed by setattr and loading from db #### signals ```python | @property | signals() -> "SignalEmitter" ``` Exposes signals from model Meta #### pk\_type ```python | @classmethod | pk_type(cls) -> Any ``` Shortcut to models primary key field type #### db\_backend\_name ```python | @classmethod | db_backend_name(cls) -> str ``` Shortcut to database dialect, cause some dialect require different treatment #### remove ```python | remove(parent: "Model", name: str) -> None ``` Removes child from relation with given name in RelationshipManager #### set\_save\_status ```python | set_save_status(status: bool) -> None ``` Sets value of the save status #### get\_properties ```python | @classmethod | get_properties(cls, include: Union[Set, Dict, None], exclude: Union[Set, Dict, None]) -> Set[str] ``` Returns a set of names of functions/fields decorated with @property_field decorator.

Expands relationships, register relation in alias manager and substitutes sqlalchemy columns with new ones with proper column type (null before). Populates Meta table of the Model which is left empty before. Sets self_reference flag on models that links to themselves. Calls the pydantic method to evaluate pydantic fields. **Arguments**: - `localns` (`Any`): local namespace **Returns**: `None`: None #### \_get\_not\_excluded\_fields ```python | @staticmethod | _get_not_excluded_fields(fields: Union[List, Set], include: Optional[Dict], exclude: Optional[Dict]) -> List ``` Returns related field names applying on them include and exclude set. **Arguments**: - `include` (`Union[Set, Dict, None]`): fields to include - `exclude` (`Union[Set, Dict, None]`): fields to exclude **Returns**: `List of fields with relations that is not excluded`: #### \_extract\_nested\_models\_from\_list ```python | @staticmethod | _extract_nested_models_from_list(relation_map: Dict, models: MutableSequence, include: Union[Set, Dict, None], exclude: Union[Set, Dict, None], exclude_primary_keys: bool, exclude_through_models: bool) -> List ``` Converts list of models into list of dictionaries. **Arguments**: - `models` (`List`): List of models - `include` (`Union[Set, Dict, None]`): fields to include - `exclude` (`Union[Set, Dict, None]`): fields to exclude **Returns**: `List[Dict]`: list of models converted to dictionaries #### \_skip\_ellipsis ```python | @classmethod | _skip_ellipsis(cls, items: Union[Set, Dict, None], key: str, default_return: Any = None) -> Union[Set, Dict, None] ``` Helper to traverse the include/exclude dictionaries.
