How to use

from fastsql import *
from dataclasses import dataclass

First we instantiate our database using FastSQL’s Database class:

db = Database("sqlite:///:memory:")

We demonstrate fastsql’s features here using dataclasses-as-schema inspired by FastHTML’s adv_app example.

@dataclass
class User:
    name:str
    pwd:str

@dataclass
class Todo:
    title:str
    name:str
    done:bool=False
    details:str=''
    id:int=None

Equipped with our schemas, let’s turn them into database tables.

users = db.create(User, pk='name')
todos = db.create(Todo, pk='id')

Let’s confirm the table design.

db.print_schema()

Table: Todo
  - *id: INTEGER
  - title: VARCHAR
  - name: VARCHAR
  - done: BOOLEAN
  - details: VARCHAR
Table: User
  - *name: VARCHAR
  - pwd: VARCHAR

Does a table exist?

users.exists()

True

Manipulating data

Creating, reading, updating, and deleting records in database tables.

Let’s create some dataclass objects representing users and todos.

u0 = User('jph','foo')
u1 = User('rlt','bar')
t0 = Todo('do it', 'jph')
t1 = Todo('build it', 'jph')
t2 = Todo('write book', 'rlt')

Let’s convert these dataclass objects into database records. To do that we insert them into their tables using the aply named insert method:

users.insert(u0)
users.insert(u1)
todos.insert(t0)
todos.insert(t1)
todos.insert(t2)

Todo(title='write book', name='rlt', done=False, details='', id=3)

Display all the user records.

for user in users():
    print(user)

User(name='jph', pwd='foo')
User(name='rlt', pwd='bar')

Use where statement to filter records, in this case only jph’s todos.

for todo in todos(where="name = :name", name="jph"):
    print(todo)

Todo(title='do it', name='jph', done=False, details='', id=1)
Todo(title='build it', name='jph', done=False, details='', id=2)

Look only for those records with the word it in it.

for todo in todos(where="title LIKE :title", title="%% it%%"):
    print(todo)

Todo(title='do it', name='jph', done=False, details='', id=1)
Todo(title='build it', name='jph', done=False, details='', id=2)

Fetch a record just by the primary key.

user = users['rlt']
user

User(name='rlt', pwd='bar')

Change a value in a record.

user.pwd = 'baz'
users.update(user)
users['rlt']

User(name='rlt', pwd='baz')
