API Reference

Instance

class umongo.instance.Instance(db=None)

Abstract instance class

Instances aims at collecting and implementing umongo.template.Template:

# Doc is a template, cannot use it for the moment
class Doc(DocumentTemplate):
    pass

instance = MyFrameworkInstance()
# doc_cls is the instance's implementation of Doc
doc_cls = instance.register(Doc)
# Implementations are registered as attribute into the instance
instance.Doc is doc_cls
# Now we can work with the implementations
doc_cls.find()

Note

Instance registration is divided between umongo.Document and umongo.EmbeddedDocument.

register(template)

Generate an umongo.template.Implementation from the given umongo.template.Template for this instance.

Parameters:template – umongo.template.Template to implement Returns:The umongo.template.Implementation generated

Note

This method can be used as a decorator. This is useful when you only have a single instance to work with to directly use the class you defined:

@instance.register
class MyEmbedded(EmbeddedDocument):
    pass

@instance.register
class MyDoc(Document):
    emb = fields.EmbeddedField(MyEmbedded)

MyDoc.find()

retrieve_document(name_or_template)

Retrieve a umongo.document.DocumentImplementation registered into this instance from it name or it template class (i.e. umongo.Document).

retrieve_embedded_document(name_or_template)

Retrieve a umongo.embedded_document.EmbeddedDocumentImplementation registered into this instance from it name or it template class (i.e. umongo.EmbeddedDocument).

set_db(db)

Set the database to use whithin this instance.

Note

The documents registered in the instance cannot be used before this function is called.

class umongo.frameworks.pymongo.PyMongoInstance(db=None)

umongo.instance.Instance implementation for pymongo

Document

umongo.Document

Shortcut to DocumentTemplate

alias of umongo.document.DocumentTemplate

class umongo.document.DocumentTemplate(*args, **kwargs)

Base class to define a umongo document.

Note

Once defined, this class must be registered inside a umongo.instance.BaseInstance to obtain it corresponding umongo.document.DocumentImplementation.

Note

You can provide marshmallow tags (e.g. marshmallow.pre_load or marshmallow.post_dump) to this class that will be passed to the marshmallow schema internally used for this document.

class umongo.document.DocumentOpts(instance, template, collection_name=None, abstract=False, indexes=None, is_child=True, strict=True, offspring=None)

Configuration for a document.

Should be passed as a Meta class to the Document

attribute	configurable in Meta	description
template	no	Origine template of the Document
instance	no	Implementation’s instance
abstract	yes	Document has no collection and can only be inherited
collection_name	yes	Name of the collection to store the document into
is_child	no	Document inherit of a non-abstract document
strict	yes	Don’t accept unknown fields from mongo (default: True)
indexes	yes	List of custom indexes
offspring	no	List of Documents inheriting this one

class umongo.document.DocumentImplementation(**kwargs)

Represent a document once it has been implemented inside a umongo.instance.BaseInstance.

Note

This class should not be used directly, it should be inherited by concrete implementations such as umongo.frameworks.pymongo.PyMongoDocument

classmethod build_from_mongo(data, use_cls=False)

Create a document instance from MongoDB data

Parameters:

• data – data as retrieved from MongoDB
• use_cls – if the data contains a _cls field, use it determine the Document class to instanciate

clear_modified()

Reset the list of document’s modified items.

clone()

Return a copy of this Document as a new Document instance

All fields are deep-copied except the _id field.

Parameters:data – data as retrieved from MongoDB

is_created

Return True if the document has been commited to database

is_modified()

Returns True if and only if the document was modified since last commit.

pk

Return the document’s primary key (i.e. _id in mongo notation) or None if not available yet

Warning

Use is_created field instead to test if the document has already been commited to database given _id field could be generated before insertion

post_delete(ret)

Overload this method to get a callback after document deletion. :param ret: Pymongo response sent by the database.

Note

If you use an async driver, this callback can be asynchronous.

post_insert(ret)

Note

If you use an async driver, this callback can be asynchronous.

post_update(ret)

Overload this method to get a callback after document update. :param ret: Pymongo response sent by the database.

Note

If you use an async driver, this callback can be asynchronous.

Note

If you use an async driver, this callback can be asynchronous.

pre_insert()

Overload this method to get a callback before document insertion.

Note

If you use an async driver, this callback can be asynchronous.

pre_update()

• force_reload – if True, ignore any cached data and reload referenced document from database.
