FlexDB (Python)

FlexDB is a flexible, free-to-use database service that allows for instant and seamless integration through its REST API. This library, python-flexdb, provides an easy-to-use Python wrapper around the FlexDB REST API.

Installation

To start using FlexDB in your project, simply run the following command:

pip install python-flexdb

Usage

Importing the library

First, let's import the FlexDB class from the flexdb package:

from python-flexdb import FlexDB

Initialize FlexDB

Now, create a new instance of the FlexDB class.

flexdb = FlexDB()

You can pass an optional configuration dictionary containing your API key and the API endpoint:

flexdb = FlexDB({'api_key': 'your_api_key'})

Create a store

A store is like a container for your data. To create a new store, call the create_store method with a unique name:

store = await flexdb.create_store('my-store')

Get a store

To fetch an existing store by its name (when using an API key), use the get_store method:

store = await flexdb.get_store('my-store')

Ensure a store exists

If you want to make sure a store exists before performing any operations, use the ensure_store_exists method. It will return the existing store or create a new one if it doesn't exist:

store = await flexdb.ensure_store_exists('my-store')

Create a collection

A collection is a group of related documents within a store. To create a new collection, call the collection method on a store instance:

collection = store.collection('my-collection')

Note: no collection will be created until you add a document to it.

Create a document

To add a new document to a collection, use the create method and pass an object containing the data you want to store:

document = await collection.create({'key': 'value'})

Get a document

To fetch a document by its ID, use the get method:

document = await collection.get('document_id')

Update a document

To update an existing document, call the update method with the document ID and an object containing the updated data:

updated_document = await collection.update('document_id', {'key': 'new_value'})

Delete a document

To remove a document from a collection, use the delete method and pass the document ID:

await collection.delete('document_id')

Get many documents

To fetch multiple documents from a collection, use the get_many method. You can pass an options dictionary to control pagination and the number of documents to fetch:

documents = await collection.get_many({'page': 1, 'limit': 10})

Delete a collection

To remove an entire collection and all its documents, call the delete_collection method:

await collection.delete_collection()

Delete a store

To delete a store and all its collections, use the delete method on a store instance:

await store.delete()
