Advanced Alchemy
Check out the project documentation 📚 for more information.
About
A carefully crafted, thoroughly tested, optimized companion library for SQLAlchemy,
offering:
- Sync and async repositories, featuring common CRUD and highly optimized bulk operations
- Integration with major web frameworks including Litestar, Starlette, FastAPI, Sanic
- Custom-built alembic configuration and CLI with optional framework integration
- Utility base classes with audit columns, primary keys and utility functions
- Optimized JSON types including a custom JSON type for Oracle
- Integrated support for UUID6 and UUID7 using
uuid-utils
(install with the uuid
extra) - Integrated support for Nano ID using
fastnanoid
(install with the nanoid
extra) - Pre-configured base classes with audit columns UUID or Big Integer primary keys and
a sentinel column.
- Synchronous and asynchronous repositories featuring:
- Common CRUD operations for SQLAlchemy models
- Bulk inserts, updates, upserts, and deletes with dialect-specific enhancements
- Integrated counts, pagination, sorting, filtering with
LIKE
, IN
, and dates before and/or after.
- Tested support for multiple database backends including:
- ...and much more
Usage
Installation
pip install advanced-alchemy
[!IMPORTANT]
Check out the installation guide in our official documentation!
Repositories
Advanced Alchemy includes a set of asynchronous and synchronous repository classes for easy CRUD
operations on your SQLAlchemy models.
Click to expand the example
from advanced_alchemy.base import UUIDBase
from advanced_alchemy.filters import LimitOffset
from advanced_alchemy.repository import SQLAlchemySyncRepository
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped, sessionmaker
class User(UUIDBase):
__tablename__ = "user_account"
email: Mapped[str]
name: Mapped[str]
class UserRepository(SQLAlchemySyncRepository[User]):
"""User repository."""
model_type = User
engine = create_engine("duckdb:///:memory:")
session_factory = sessionmaker(engine, expire_on_commit=False)
with engine.begin() as conn:
User.metadata.create_all(conn)
with session_factory() as db_session:
repo = UserRepository(session=db_session)
bulk_users = [
{"email": 'cody@litestar.dev', 'name': 'Cody'},
{"email": 'janek@litestar.dev', 'name': 'Janek'},
{"email": 'peter@litestar.dev', 'name': 'Peter'},
{"email": 'jacob@litestar.dev', 'name': 'Jacob'}
]
objs = repo.add_many([User(**raw_user) for raw_user in bulk_users])
db_session.commit()
print(f"Created {len(objs)} new objects.")
created_objs, total_objs = repo.list_and_count(LimitOffset(limit=10, offset=0), name="Cody")
print(f"Selected {len(created_objs)} records out of a total of {total_objs}.")
deleted_objs = repo.delete_many([new_obj.id for new_obj in created_objs])
print(f"Removed {len(deleted_objs)} records out of a total of {total_objs}.")
remaining_count = repo.count()
print(f"Found {remaining_count} remaining records after delete.")
For a full standalone example, see the sample here
Services
Advanced Alchemy includes an additional service class to make working with a repository easier.
This class is designed to accept data as a dictionary or SQLAlchemy model,
and it will handle the type conversions for you.
Here's the same example from above but using a service to create the data:
from advanced_alchemy.base import UUIDBase
from advanced_alchemy.filters import LimitOffset
from advanced_alchemy import SQLAlchemySyncRepository, SQLAlchemySyncRepositoryService
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped, sessionmaker
class User(UUIDBase):
__tablename__ = "user_account"
email: Mapped[str]
name: Mapped[str]
class UserRepository(SQLAlchemySyncRepository[User]):
"""User repository."""
model_type = User
class UserService(SQLAlchemySyncRepositoryService[User]):
"""User repository."""
repository_type = UserRepository
engine = create_engine("duckdb:///:memory:")
session_factory = sessionmaker(engine, expire_on_commit=False)
with engine.begin() as conn:
User.metadata.create_all(conn)
with session_factory() as db_session:
service = UserService(session=db_session)
objs = service.create_many([
{"email": 'cody@litestar.dev', 'name': 'Cody'},
{"email": 'janek@litestar.dev', 'name': 'Janek'},
{"email": 'peter@litestar.dev', 'name': 'Peter'},
{"email": 'jacob@litestar.dev', 'name': 'Jacob'}
])
print(objs)
print(f"Created {len(objs)} new objects.")
created_objs, total_objs = service.list_and_count(LimitOffset(limit=10, offset=0), name="Cody")
print(f"Selected {len(created_objs)} records out of a total of {total_objs}.")
deleted_objs = service.delete_many([new_obj.id for new_obj in created_objs])
print(f"Removed {len(deleted_objs)} records out of a total of {total_objs}.")
remaining_count = service.count()
print(f"Found {remaining_count} remaining records after delete.")
Web Frameworks
Advanced Alchemy works with nearly all Python web frameworks.
Several helpers for popular libraries are included, and additional PRs to support others are welcomed.
Litestar
Advanced Alchemy is the official SQLAlchemy integration for Litestar.
In addition to installing with pip install advanced-alchemy
,
it can also be installed as a Litestar extra with pip install litestar[sqlalchemy]
.
Litestar Example
from litestar import Litestar
from litestar.plugins.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemyPlugin, SQLAlchemyAsyncConfig
alchemy = SQLAlchemyPlugin(
config=SQLAlchemyAsyncConfig(connection_string="sqlite+aiosqlite:///test.sqlite"),
)
app = Litestar(plugins=[alchemy])
For a full Litestar example, check here
FastAPI
FastAPI Example
from fastapi import FastAPI
from advanced_alchemy.config import SQLAlchemyAsyncConfig
from advanced_alchemy.extensions.starlette import StarletteAdvancedAlchemy
app = FastAPI()
alchemy = StarletteAdvancedAlchemy(
config=SQLAlchemyAsyncConfig(connection_string="sqlite+aiosqlite:///test.sqlite"), app=app,
)
For a full FastAPI example, see here
Starlette
Pre-built Example Apps
from starlette.applications import Starlette
from advanced_alchemy.config import SQLAlchemyAsyncConfig
from advanced_alchemy.extensions.starlette import StarletteAdvancedAlchemy
app = Starlette()
alchemy = StarletteAdvancedAlchemy(
config=SQLAlchemyAsyncConfig(connection_string="sqlite+aiosqlite:///test.sqlite"), app=app,
)
Sanic
Pre-built Example Apps
from sanic import Sanic
from sanic_ext import Extend
from advanced_alchemy.config import SQLAlchemyAsyncConfig
from advanced_alchemy.extensions.sanic import SanicAdvancedAlchemy
