Configuration is too unwieldy ? Since you're using declarative , just using
@declared_attr would give you access to the class:
def make_ordered_list(key, pk, type_):
@declared_attr
def go(cls):
class Name(Base):
__tablename__ = "%s_names" % key
rel_id = Column("related_id", Integer, ForeignKey(pk),
primary_key=True, index=True)
position = Column("position", Integer)
value = Column("value", type_, primary_key=True)
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = value
private_key = "_" + key
setattr(cls, key, association_proxy(private_key, "value"))
return relation(
Name,
order_by=Name.position,
collection_class=ordering_list('position')
)
Name.__name__ = '%sName' % key
return go
class Sheet(Base):
__tablename__ = "sheet"
sheet_id = Column("sheet_id", Integer, primary_key=True)
_names = make_ordered_list("names", sheet_id, String)
if you wanted to get rid of saying "_names", you need to create something that
is added after the fact:
Sheet.names = make_ordered_list(Sheet, ...)
or class decorator:
@stores_names('names')
class Sheet(...)
This because the class is not mapped, and no mapper exists, until the class has
been constructed. Declarative lets you get to the mapper using the class-bound
attributes, with @declared_attr the path towards one that is dynamic. So this
is sort of an issue of you'd like more hooks into declarative's interpretation
of mapper().
On that note, if you're ambitious, you could make a wrapper around mapper() and
give that to declarative_base() as its "mapper" argument, which looks for
special attributes on the class and generates additional properties.
