### Overview
The `ormar` package is an async mini ORM for Python, with support for **Postgres,
MySQL**, and **SQLite**.
The main benefit of using `ormar` are:
* getting an **async ORM that can be used with async frameworks** (fastapi, starlette etc.)
* getting just **one model to maintain** - you don't have to maintain pydantic and other orm model (sqlalchemy, peewee, gino etc.)
The goal was to create a simple ORM that can be **used directly (as request and response models) with [`fastapi`][fastapi]** that bases it's data validation on pydantic.
Ormar - apart form obvious ORM in name - get it's name from ormar in swedish which means snakes, and ormar(e) in italian which means cabinet.
And what's a better name for python ORM than snakes cabinet :)
### Documentation
Check out the [documentation][documentation] for details.
### Dependencies
Ormar is built with:
* [`SQLAlchemy core`][sqlalchemy-core] for query building.
* [`databases`][databases] for cross-database async support.
* [`pydantic`][pydantic] for data validation.
* typing_extensions for python 3.6 - 3.7
### Migrations
Because ormar is built on SQLAlchemy core, you can use [`alembic`][alembic] to provide
database migrations.
**ormar is still under development:** We recommend pinning any dependencies with `ormar~=0.4.0`
### Quick Start
**Note**: Use `ipython` to try this from the console, since it supports `await`.
```python
import databases
import ormar
import sqlalchemy
database = databases.Database("sqlite:///db.sqlite")
metadata = sqlalchemy.MetaData()
class Album(ormar.Model):
class Meta:
tablename = "album"
metadata = metadata
database = database
# note that type hints are optional so
# id = ormar.Integer(primary_key=True)
# is also valid
id: int = ormar.Integer(primary_key=True)
name: str = ormar.String(max_length=100)
class Track(ormar.Model):
class Meta:
tablename = "track"
metadata = metadata
database = database
id: int = ormar.Integer(primary_key=True)
album: Optional[Album] = ormar.ForeignKey(Album)
title: str = ormar.String(max_length=100)
position: int = ormar.Integer()
# Create some records to work with.
malibu = await Album.objects.create(name="Malibu")
await Track.objects.create(album=malibu, title="The Bird", position=1)
await Track.objects.create(album=malibu, title="Heart don't stand a chance", position=2)
await Track.objects.create(album=malibu, title="The Waters", position=3)
# alternative creation of object divided into 2 steps
fantasies = Album.objects.create(name="Fantasies")
await fantasies.save()
await Track.objects.create(album=fantasies, title="Help I'm Alive", position=1)
await Track.objects.create(album=fantasies, title="Sick Muse", position=2)
# Fetch an instance, without loading a foreign key relationship on it.
track = await Track.objects.get(title="The Bird")
# We have an album instance, but it only has the primary key populated
print(track.album) # Album(id=1) [sparse]
print(track.album.pk) # 1
print(track.album.name) # None
# Load the relationship from the database
await track.album.load()
assert track.album.name == "Malibu"
# This time, fetch an instance, loading the foreign key relationship.
track = await Track.objects.select_related("album").get(title="The Bird")
assert track.album.name == "Malibu"
# By default you also get a second side of the relation
# constructed as lowercase source model name +'s' (tracks in this case)
# you can also provide custom name with parameter related_name
album = await Album.objects.select_related("tracks").all()
assert len(album.tracks) == 3
# Fetch instances, with a filter across an FK relationship.
tracks = Track.objects.filter(album__name="Fantasies")
assert len(tracks) == 2
# Fetch instances, with a filter and operator across an FK relationship.
tracks = Track.objects.filter(album__name__iexact="fantasies")
assert len(tracks) == 2
# Limit a query
tracks = await Track.objects.limit(1).all()
assert len(tracks) == 1
```
## Ormar Specification
### QuerySet methods
* `create(**kwargs): -> Model`
* `get(**kwargs): -> Model`
* `get_or_create(**kwargs) -> Model`
* `update(each: bool = False, **kwargs) -> int`
* `update_or_create(**kwargs) -> Model`
* `bulk_create(objects: List[Model]) -> None`
* `bulk_update(objects: List[Model], columns: List[str] = None) -> None`
* `delete(each: bool = False, **kwargs) -> int`
* `all(self, **kwargs) -> List[Optional[Model]]`
* `filter(**kwargs) -> QuerySet`
* `exclude(**kwargs) -> QuerySet`
* `select_related(related: Union[List, str]) -> QuerySet`
* `limit(limit_count: int) -> QuerySet`
* `offset(offset: int) -> QuerySet`
* `count() -> int`
* `exists() -> bool`
* `fields(columns: Union[List, str, set, dict]) -> QuerySet`
* `exclude_fields(columns: Union[List, str, set, dict]) -> QuerySet`
* `order_by(columns:Union[List, str]) -> QuerySet`
#### Relation types
* One to many - with `ForeignKey(to: Model)`
* Many to many - with `ManyToMany(to: Model, through: Model)`
#### Model fields types
Available Model Fields (with required args - optional ones in docs):
* `String(max_length)`
* `Text()`
* `Boolean()`
* `Integer()`
* `Float()`
* `Date()`
* `Time()`
* `DateTime()`
* `JSON()`
* `BigInteger()`
* `Decimal(scale, precision)`
* `UUID()`
* `ForeignKey(to)`
* `ManyToMany(to, through)`
### Available fields options
The following keyword arguments are supported on all field types.
* `primary_key: bool`
* `nullable: bool`
* `default: Any`
* `server_default: Any`
* `index: bool`
* `unique: bool`
* `choices: typing.Sequence`
* `name: str`
All fields are required unless one of the following is set:
* `nullable` - Creates a nullable column. Sets the default to `None`.
* `default` - Set a default value for the field.
* `server_default` - Set a default value for the field on server side (like sqlalchemy's `func.now()`).
* `primary key` with `autoincrement` - When a column is set to primary key and autoincrement is set on this column.
Autoincrement is set by default on int primary keys.
