to not rely upon SQLAlchemy test libs, nosetests must be run from within examples/versioning to get around setup.cfg breaking it. - Tweak to examples/versioning to pick the correct foreign key in a multi-level inheritance situation.

Illustrates an extension which creates version tables for entities and stores
|
|
records for each change. The same idea as Elixir's versioned extension, but
|
|
more efficient (uses attribute API to get history) and handles class
|
|
inheritance. The given extensions generate an anonymous "history" class which
|
|
represents historical versions of the target object.
|
|
|
|
Usage is illustrated via a unit test module ``test_versioning.py``, which can
|
|
be run via nose::
|
|
|
|
cd examples/versioning
|
|
nosetests -v
|
|
|
|
A fragment of example usage, using declarative::
|
|
|
|
from history_meta import VersionedMeta, VersionedListener
|
|
|
|
Base = declarative_base(metaclass=VersionedMeta, bind=engine)
|
|
Session = sessionmaker(extension=VersionedListener())
|
|
|
|
class SomeClass(Base):
|
|
__tablename__ = 'sometable'
|
|
|
|
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
|
|
name = Column(String(50))
|
|
|
|
def __eq__(self, other):
|
|
assert type(other) is SomeClass and other.id == self.id
|
|
|
|
sess = Session()
|
|
sc = SomeClass(name='sc1')
|
|
sess.add(sc)
|
|
sess.commit()
|
|
|
|
sc.name = 'sc1modified'
|
|
sess.commit()
|
|
|
|
assert sc.version == 2
|
|
|
|
SomeClassHistory = SomeClass.__history_mapper__.class_
|
|
|
|
assert sess.query(SomeClassHistory).\\
|
|
filter(SomeClassHistory.version == 1).\\
|
|
all() \\
|
|
== [SomeClassHistory(version=1, name='sc1')]
|
|
|
|
To apply ``VersionedMeta`` to a subset of classes (probably more typical), the
|
|
metaclass can be applied on a per-class basis::
|
|
|
|
from history_meta import VersionedMeta, VersionedListener
|
|
|
|
Base = declarative_base(bind=engine)
|
|
|
|
class SomeClass(Base):
|
|
__tablename__ = 'sometable'
|
|
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
class SomeVersionedClass(Base):
|
|
__metaclass__ = VersionedMeta
|
|
__tablename__ = 'someothertable'
|
|
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
The ``VersionedMeta`` is a declarative metaclass - to use the extension with
|
|
plain mappers, the ``_history_mapper`` function can be applied::
|
|
|
|
from history_meta import _history_mapper
|
|
|
|
m = mapper(SomeClass, sometable)
|
|
_history_mapper(m)
|
|
|
|
SomeHistoryClass = SomeClass.__history_mapper__.class_
|
|
