class simpleml.orm.sqlalchemy_types.GUID(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: sqlalchemy.types.TypeDecorator

Platform-independent GUID type.

Uses PostgreSQL’s UUID type, otherwise uses CHAR(32), storing as stringified hex values.

http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/custom_types.html

Construct a TypeDecorator.

Arguments sent here are passed to the constructor of the class assigned to the impl class level attribute, assuming the impl is a callable, and the resulting object is assigned to the self.impl instance attribute (thus overriding the class attribute of the same name).

If the class level impl is not a callable (the unusual case), it will be assigned to the same instance attribute ‘as-is’, ignoring those arguments passed to the constructor.

Subclasses can override this to customize the generation of self.impl entirely.

impl

load_dialect_impl(self, dialect)

Return a TypeEngine object corresponding to a dialect.

This is an end-user override hook that can be used to provide differing types depending on the given dialect. It is used by the TypeDecorator implementation of type_engine() to help determine what type should ultimately be returned for a given TypeDecorator.

By default returns self.impl.

process_bind_param(self, value, dialect)

Receive a bound parameter value to be converted.

Custom subclasses of _types.TypeDecorator should override this method to provide custom behaviors for incoming data values. This method is called at statement execution time and is passed the literal Python data value which is to be associated with a bound parameter in the statement.

The operation could be anything desired to perform custom behavior, such as transforming or serializing data. This could also be used as a hook for validating logic.

Parameters

• value – Data to operate upon, of any type expected by this method in the subclass. Can be None.

• dialect – the Dialect in use.

_types.TypeDecorator.process_result_value()

process_result_value(self, value, dialect)

Receive a result-row column value to be converted.

Custom subclasses of _types.TypeDecorator should override this method to provide custom behaviors for data values being received in result rows coming from the database. This method is called at result fetching time and is passed the literal Python data value that’s extracted from a database result row.

The operation could be anything desired to perform custom behavior, such as transforming or deserializing data.

Parameters

• value – Data to operate upon, of any type expected by this method in the subclass. Can be None.

• dialect – the Dialect in use.

Platform-independent JSON type

Uses PostgreSQL’s JSONB type, otherwise falls back to standard JSON
