pydent.relationships.Many

class pydent.relationships.Many(nested, ref=None, attr=None, callback=None, callback_args=None, callback_kwargs=None, **kwargs)

Bases: pydent.relationships.BaseRelationship

Defines a many relationship with another model.

Subclass of pydent.marshaller.Relation.

Many initializer. Uses “where” callback by default.

Parameters

• nested (basestring) – target model

• args – other args for fields.Nested relationship

• attr (basestring) – attribute to use to find model

• kwargs – other kwargs for fields.Nested relationship

__init__(nested, ref=None, attr=None, callback=None, callback_args=None, callback_kwargs=None, **kwargs)

Many initializer. Uses “where” callback by default.

Parameters

• nested (basestring) – target model

• args – other args for fields.Nested relationship

• attr (basestring) – attribute to use to find model

• kwargs – other kwargs for fields.Nested relationship

Methods

__init__(nested[, ref, attr, callback, …])	Many initializer.
build_query(models)	Bundles all of the callback args for the models into a single query.
cache_result(owner, val)
deserialize(owner, val)
fullfill(owner[, cache, extra_args, …])	Calls the callback function using the owner object.
get_callback_args(owner[, extra_args])	Processes the callback args.
get_callback_kwargs(owner, extra_kwargs)	Processes the callback kwargs.
register(name, objtype)	Registers the field to a nested class.
serialize(owner, obj)
set_data_key(key)

_get_ref_attr(nested=None, ref=None, attr=None)

Sets the ‘ref’ and ‘attr’ attributes. These attributes are used to defined parameters for.

pydent.marshaller.Relation classes.

For example:

relation # HasOne, HasMany, or HasManyGeneric, etc.
relation.set_ref(ref="parent_id")
relation.ref    # "parent_id"
relation.attr   # "id"

relation.set_ref(model="SampleType")
relation.ref   # "sample_type_id"
relation.attr  # "id"

relation.set_ref(attr="name", model="OperationType")
relation.ref   # "operation_type_name
relation.attr  # "name"

build_query(models)

Bundles all of the callback args for the models into a single query.

fullfill(owner, cache=None, extra_args=None, extra_kwargs=None)

Calls the callback function using the owner object. A Callback.SELF arg value will be replaced to be equivalent to the owner instance model.

Parameters

• owner – the owning object

• cache – if True, will cache the return in the deserialized data. On next call, the cached result will be returned.

• extra_args – extra args to pass to the callback function

• extra_kwargs – extra kwargs to pass to the callback function

Returns

function result

Return type

any

get_callback_args(owner, extra_args=None)

Processes the callback args.

Return type

List[Any]

get_callback_kwargs(owner, extra_kwargs)

Processes the callback kwargs.

Return type

dict

register(name, objtype)

Registers the field to a nested class. Instantiates the corresponding descriptor (i.e. accessor)

Parameters

• name (str) – name of the field

• objtype (Type) – the nested class to register the field to

Returns

None

Return type

None
