peewee
======

Peewee is a simple and small ORM. It has few (but expressive) concepts, making it easy to learn and intuitive to use.

* A small, expressive ORM
* Written in python with support for versions 2.6+ and 3.2+.
* built-in support for sqlite, mysql and postgresql
* tons of extensions available in the `playhouse <http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/playhouse.html>`_

* `Postgresql HStore, JSON, arrays and more <http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/playhouse.html#postgres-ext>`_
  * `SQLite full-text search, user-defined functions, virtual tables and more <http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/playhouse.html#sqlite-ext>`_
  * `Schema migrations <http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/playhouse.html#migrate>`_ and `model code generator <http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/playhouse.html#pwiz>`_
  * `Connection pool <http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/playhouse.html#pool>`_
  * `Encryption <http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/playhouse.html#sqlcipher-ext>`_

New to peewee? Here is a list of documents you might find most helpful when getting
started:

* `Quickstart guide <http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/quickstart.html#quickstart>`_ -- this guide covers all the essentials. It will take you between 5 and 10 minutes to go through it.
* `Guide to the various query operators <http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/querying.html#query-operators>`_ describes how to construct queries and combine expressions.
* `Field types table <http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/models.html#field-types-table>`_ lists the various field types peewee supports and the parameters they accept.

For flask helpers, check out the `flask_utils extension module <http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/playhouse.html#flask-utils>`_. You can also use peewee with the popular extension `flask-admin <https://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ to provide a Django-like admin interface for managing peewee models.

Examples
--------

Defining models is similar to Django or SQLAlchemy:

.. code-block:: python

from peewee import *
    from playhouse.sqlite_ext import SqliteExtDatabase
    import datetime

db = SqliteExtDatabase('my_database.db')

class BaseModel(Model):
        class Meta:
            database = db

class User(BaseModel):
        username = CharField(unique=True)

class Tweet(BaseModel):
        user = ForeignKeyField(User, related_name='tweets')
        message = TextField()
        created_date = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
        is_published = BooleanField(default=True)

Connect to the database and create tables:

.. code-block:: python

db.connect()
    db.create_tables([User, Tweet])

Create a few rows:

.. code-block:: python

charlie = User.create(username='charlie')
    huey = User(username='huey')
    huey.save()

# No need to set `is_published` or `created_date` since they
    # will just use the default values we specified.
    Tweet.create(user=charlie, message='My first tweet')

Queries are expressive and composable:

.. code-block:: python

# A simple query selecting a user.
    User.get(User.username == 'charles')

# Get tweets created by one of several users. The "<<" operator
    # corresponds to the SQL "IN" operator.
    usernames = ['charlie', 'huey', 'mickey']
    users = User.select().where(User.username << usernames)
    tweets = Tweet.select().where(Tweet.user << users)

# We could accomplish the same using a JOIN:
    tweets = (Tweet
              .select()
              .join(User)
              .where(User.username << usernames))

# How many tweets were published today?
    tweets_today = (Tweet
                    .select()
                    .where(
                        (Tweet.created_date >= datetime.date.today()) &
                        (Tweet.is_published == True))
                    .count())

# Paginate the user table and show me page 3 (users 41-60).
    User.select().order_by(User.username).paginate(3, 20)

# Order users by the number of tweets they've created:
    tweet_ct = fn.Count(Tweet.id)
    users = (User
             .select(User, tweet_ct.alias('ct'))
             .join(Tweet, JOIN.LEFT_OUTER)
             .group_by(User)
             .order_by(tweet_ct.desc()))

# Do an atomic update
    Counter.update(count=Counter.count + 1).where(
        Counter.url == request.url)
