Automatic object YAML mapping for Python.
Project description
YORM
YORM provides functions and decorators to enable automatic, bidirectional, and human-friendly mappings of Python object attributes to YAML files.
Uses beyond typical object serialization and mapping include:
bidirectional conversion between basic YAML and Python types
attribute creation and type inference for new attributes
storage of content in text files optimized for version control
extensible converters to customize formatting on complex classes
Getting Started
Requirements
Python 3.3+
Installation
YORM can be installed with pip:
$ pip install YORM
or directly from the source code:
$ git clone https://github.com/jacebrowning/yorm.git $ cd yorm $ python setup.py install
Basic Usage
Simply take an existing class:
class Student:
def __init__(self, name, school, number, year=2009):
self.name = name
self.school = school
self.number = number
self.year = year
self.gpa = 0.0and define an attribute mapping:
import yorm
from yorm.standard import String, Integer, Float
@yorm.attr(name=String, year=Integer, gpa=Float)
@yorm.sync("students/{self.school}/{self.number}.yml")
class Student:
...Modifications to each object’s mapped attributes:
>>> s1 = Student("John Doe", "GVSU", 123)
>>> s2 = Student("Jane Doe", "GVSU", 456, year=2014)
>>> s1.gpa = 3are automatically reflected on the filesytem:
$ cat students/GVSU/123.yml
name: John Doe
gpa: 3.0
school: GVSU
year: 2009Modifications and new content in each mapped file:
$ echo "name: John Doe
> gpa: 1.8
> year: 2010
> expelled: true
" > students/GVSU/123.ymlare automatically reflected in their corresponding object:
>>> s1.gpa
1.8
>>> s1.expelled
