The Object API

ObjectAPI provides a concise negative-boilerplate paradigm for creating full-stack web applications with Python. It is built on top of FastAPI, SQLModel, and pydantic.

Features

• Active record pattern for database access
• Automatic get_by_id lookup for instance methods with route decorators
• Automatic CRUD routes
• Scheduled service methods
• Managed DB sessions for service methods and for each request
• __post_init__ for entity classes

Installation

pip install object-api

Usage

from object_api.entity import Entity
from object_api.app import App
from object_api.model_variants import (
    create_variant,
    read_variant,
    update_variant,
    db_variant,
)
from object_api import router
from object_api.router import route, get, post, put, delete, patch, head, options
from object_api.servicemethod import servicemethod

from object_api import (
    App,
    Entity,
    create_variant,
    read_variant,
    update_variant,
    db_variant,
    router,
    route,
    get,
    post,
    put,
    delete,
    patch,
    head,
    options,
    servicemethod
)


@create_variant()
@read_variant()
@update_variant()
@db_variant(include=["passwd_hash"])
class User(Entity):
    name: str
    passwd_hash: str = Field(exclude=True)
    birthdate: datetime
    
    @property
    def age(self) -> timedelta:
        return datetime.now() - self.birthdate


class User(Entity):

    name: str
    pass: str
    age: int

    @service.servicemethod
    @classmethod
    def remove_inactive(cls):
        for user in User.get_all():
            if user.age > 100:
                user.delete()
    
    @router.route()
    def get_name(self):
        return self.name

    @router.post("/change_name")
    def change_name(self, name: str):
        self.name = name
        self.save()

app = App()

app.run()

Roadmap

[] Make the Create/Read/UpdateModel's automatically convert foreign lists/dicts to just their ID's
