sqlalchemy_seed is a seed library which provides initial data to database using SQLAlchemy.

sqlalchemy_seed is similar to Django fixtures <https://docs.djangoproject.com/ja/1.10/howto/initial-data/>_.

Installation

.. code::

pip install sqlalchemy_seed

Adding seed

.. code::

/myapp
init.py
models.py
/fixtures
accounts.yaml

Model file.

.. code:: python

-- coding: utf-8 --

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.exc import OperationalError
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import scoped_session, sessionmaker, relationship
engine = create_engine('sqlite://', convert_unicode=True)

Base = declarative_base()
Base.metadata.bind = engine
Session = sessionmaker(autocommit=False, autoflush=False, bind=engine)
session = scoped_session(Session)

class Account(Base):
tablename = 'accounts'

  id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
  first_name = Column(String(100), nullable=False)
  last_name = Column(String(100), nullable=False)
  age = Column(Integer(), nullable=True)

Seed code.

.. code:: python

-- coding: utf-8 --

from sqlalchemy_seed import (
create_table,
drop_table,
load_fixtures,
load_fixture_files,
)
from myapp.models import Base, session

def main():
path = '/path/to/fixtures'
fixtures = load_fixture_files(path, ['accounts.yaml'])
load_fixtures(session, fixtures)

if name == 'main':
main()

Seed file.

.. code::

  • model: myapp.models.Account
    id: 1
    fields:
    first_name: John
    last_name: Lennon
    age: 20

  • model: myapp.models.Account
    id: 2
    fields:
    first_name: Paul
    last_name: McCartney
    age: 21

Update seed

If you want idempotent, you can describe seed like followings.

Seed file.

.. code::

  • model: myapp.models.Account
    fields:
    id: 1
    first_name: John
    last_name: Lennon
    age: 20

  • model: myapp.models.Account
    fields:
    id: 2
