Author here! | | Thanks for sharing! | | This is the biggest thing I've built since FastAPI and Typer... | | SQLModel is a library for interacting with SQL DBs, based on | Python type hints. | | Each model is both a Pydantic and SQLAlchemy model, and it's all | optimized for FastAPI. | | GitHub here: https://github.com/tiangolo/sqlmodel | | More info in this Twitter thread: | https://twitter.com/tiangolo/status/1430252646968004612 | | And the docs are here: https://sqlmodel.tiangolo.com/ | kbumsik wrote: | Cool project! | | Just wanted to mention that you emphasize "optimized for | FastAPI" but it looks like it does nothing to do with FastAPI. | | Do you have any reason to narrow down the scope to FastAPI when | other frameworks like Flask are still more widely used? | | Specifically mentioning only one framework causes loosing | interest of people who use other frameworks. | scrollaway wrote: | I'm curious and excited. Have you talked about the differences | between this and TortoiseORM yet? The latter has the big | advantage of having an api familiar to Django users. | | In short, what motivated you to write your own rather than | "bless" one of the existing ones? | | I see the approach that this isn't exactly an orm, it's more of | an api wrapper around it (SQLalchemy in that case), is that | correct? | jkrubin wrote: | If tiangolo is involved it will be very polished by 0.1.0 | hangonhn wrote: | Does it work outside of FastAPI or is it tied to it? We sort of | shoved SQLAlchemy into Starlette (which FastAPI also uses) and it | would be great if this library also works with Starlette. Thanks! | tiangolo wrote: | Yes of course! It is based on (and depends on) SQLAlchemy and | Pydantic. | | And SQLModel, the same as those two dependencies, are | independent of any framework, so you can combine them with | anything you need. | hangonhn wrote: | Thanks! This could potentially save us a ton of work! Really | appreciate all the amazing work you've done. FastAPI | definitely being put to good use at my company. | woile wrote: | Super nice! Always delivering quality tools. This also seems to | play good with starlette as well. And I see async and migrations | are coming soon. Alembic is good but a bit cumbersome to use, I | hope to see some improvements there as well | gabereiser wrote: | While I'm a fan of both pydantic and SQLAlchemy, I feel like | support for this should be more clear in pydantic. We have the | `.from_orm` method and we have sqlalchemy model metadata. This | project wraps them nicely but I shouldn't have to have separate | glue code for this. Until we have cleaner pydantic/sqlalchemy | integration for FastAPI, the OP's project will do just nicely. | Great job. I fully expect FastAPI with it's reliance on pydantic | to help push better support for ORM models though. Anyway, enough | ranting and back to coding. | easton wrote: | I was literally an hour ago trying to figure out how to get my | complicated Pydantic models to convert correctly to the | SQLAlchemy models I made. Thanks tiangolo! | gigatexal wrote: | That it uses SQLAlchemy bring the scenes is a deal breaker for | me. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-08-24 23:00 UTC)
